Launched in 2005, among the most highly regarded journals concentrating on molecular biomarkers in cancer research

Cancer Biomarkers publishes content on the identification of markers associated with the prevention, detection, diagnosis, and treatment of cancer whether or not they are an integral part of the pathological lesion. The disease markers may include, but are not limited to, genomic, epigenomic, proteomic, cellular and morphologic, and genetic risk factors predisposing to the disease or indicating the occurrence of the disease. Data science, artificial intelligence, radiomics, and other molecular approaches, such as bulk and single cell genomic sequence analyses for biomarkers discovery, development, and validation in reference to cancer prevention and treatment, are accepted.

Special Editorial Features
•    Important new findings focusing on molecular screening and early detection
•    Introduction of innovative methodologies integrating new technologies such as AI
•    Special Themed Issues including Applications of Artificial Intelligence in Biomarker Research 

Editor-in-Chief
