Advances in Cancer Biology - Metastasis

Advances in Cancer Biology - Metastasis is an open access journal focused on basic and translational research on cancer metastasis. It publishes reviews, research articles, mini-reviews, and technical methodology papers, and may also consider clinically oriented papers that discuss therapeutic options dependent on specific molecular features of primary and metastatic tumors. Topics of interest include molecular mechanisms of metastatic spread, organ-specific metastasis, tumor microenvironment, dormancy, circulating tumor cells, exosomes, animal models, diagnostics, translational research, and therapeutic approaches.
