《癌癥快報》是一本在癌癥研究的廣泛領域提供快速發表的簡短文章的雜志。該雜志重點介紹了癌癥的分子和細胞生物學、癌基因、致癌、輻射生物學、分子病理學、激素和癌癥、病毒腫瘤學、癌癥和轉移生物學、分子細胞遺傳學、流行病學和實驗治療學。出版的主要標準是多學科受眾的興趣。論文應該簡短，但技術上健全，并由足夠的實驗細節證實。如果臨床論文有助于理解疾病的基本機制，將被接受。2001年1月起發表在《癌癥快報》上的論文將分為以下幾部分：致癌與癌癥預防、實驗治療、流行病學與分子流行病學、分子與細胞生物學、腫瘤生物學。敬請作者在向適當的編輯辦公室提交手稿時，選擇希望其手稿出現的部分（有關詳細信息，請參閱《作者指南》）。

Carcinogenesis is a multi-disciplinary journal designed to bring together all the varied aspects of research which will ultimately lead to the prevention of cancer in man. the journal will publish full papers and short communications which warrant prompt publication in the areas of viral physical and chemical carcinogenesis and mutagenesis; factors modifying these processes such as DNA repair genetics and nutrition; metabolism of carcinogens; the mechanism of action of carcinogens and promoting agents; epidemiological studies; and the formation detection identification and quantification of environmental carcinogens. Accelerated papers are of important and timely work chosen by the editors which merit a fast review process followed by rapid publication (6 weeks). The editors may from time to time invite commentaries or short reviews.
