Journal Title：Infectious Agents And Cancer

Infectious Agents and Cancer is an open access, peer-reviewed online journal that encompasses all aspects of basic, clinical, epidemiological and translational research providing an insight into the association between chronic infections and cancer.

The journal welcomes submissions in the pathogen-related cancer areas and other related topics, in particular:

? HPV and anogenital cancers, as well as head and neck cancers;

? EBV and Burkitt lymphoma;

? HCV/HBV and hepatocellular carcinoma as well as lymphoproliferative diseases;

? HHV8 and Kaposi sarcoma;

? HTLV and leukemia;

? Cancers in Low- and Middle-income countries.

The link between infection and cancer has become well established over the past 50 years, and infection-associated cancer contribute up to 16% of cancers in developed countries and 33% in less developed countries.

Preventive vaccines have been developed for only two cancer-causing viruses, highlighting both the opportunity to prevent infection-associated cancers by vaccination and the gaps that remain before vaccines can be developed for other cancer-causing agents. These gaps are due to incomplete understanding of the basic biology, natural history, epidemiology of many of the pathogens that cause cancer, the mechanisms they exploit to cause cancer, and how to interrupt progression to cancer in human populations. Early diagnosis or identification of lesions at high risk of progression represent the current most critical research area of the field supported by recent advances in genomics and proteomics technologies.

《傳染病原體與癌癥》是一本開放獲取、同行評審的在線期刊，涵蓋基礎、臨床、流行病學和轉化研究的各個方面，深入了解慢性感染與癌癥之間的關系。

該期刊歡迎病原體相關癌癥領域和其他相關主題的投稿，特別是：

? HPV 和肛門生殖器癌以及頭頸癌；

? EBV 和伯基特淋巴瘤；

? HCV/HBV 和肝細胞癌以及淋巴增生性疾??；

? HHV8 和卡波西肉瘤；

? HTLV 和白血??；

? 中低收入國家的癌癥。

過去 50 年來，感染與癌癥之間的聯(lián)系已得到充分證實，感染相關癌癥占發(fā)達國家的癌癥發(fā)病率為 16%，欠發(fā)達國家的癌癥發(fā)病率為 33%。

目前僅針對兩種致癌病毒開發(fā)了預防性疫苗，這既凸顯了通過接種疫苗預防感染相關癌癥的機會，也凸顯了在開發(fā)針對其他致癌因子的疫苗之前仍然存在的差距。這些差距是由于對許多致癌病原體的基本生物學、自然史和流行病學、它們導致癌癥的機制以及如何阻止人類群體向癌癥發(fā)展尚未完全了解。早期診斷或識別高風險病變是該領域目前最關鍵的研究領域，基因組學和蛋白質組學技術的最新進展為其提供了支持。

Infectious Agents And Cancer創(chuàng)刊于2006年，由BioMed Central出版商出版，收稿方向涵蓋ONCOLOGY - IMMUNOLOGY全領域，此刊是該細分領域中屬于非常不錯的SCI期刊，在行業(yè)細分領域中學術影響力較大，專業(yè)度認可很高，所以對原創(chuàng)文章要求創(chuàng)新性較高，如果您的文章質量很高，可以嘗試。平均審稿速度 17 Weeks ，影響因子指數3.1，該期刊近期沒有被列入國際期刊預警名單，廣大學者值得一試。
