分子癌變介紹了對化學、物理和病毒(生物)癌變機制的分子方面的研究。感興趣的領域包括但不限于與腫瘤正常生長、分化和改變相關的基因或基因產(chǎn)物的結構、表達或功能;腫瘤前或腫瘤細胞中表達的基因或基因產(chǎn)物的表征;定義腫瘤相關蛋白的特定功能或其對細胞功能的影響的分子研究;幾乎所有關于致癌基因、抑癌基因及其基因產(chǎn)物的分子方面的研究;轉基因小鼠的致癌研究以及人類腫瘤病毒的研究。

Molecular Carcinogenesis presents information describing investigations of molecular aspects of the mechanisms involved in chemical, physical, and viral (biological) carcinogenesis. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, the structure, expression, or function of genes or gene products associated with normal growth and differentiation and alterations in neoplasia; characterization of genes or gene products expressed in preneoplastic or neoplastic cells; molecular studies that define a specific function of a tumor-associated protein or its effects on cellular function; virtually all research on molecular aspects of oncogenes, tumor suppressor genes, and their gene products; carcinogenesis studies in transgenic mice; and research on human tumor viruses.
