Cancer is a complex disease. While many aspects of carcinogenesis and tumor development are known, community-level cancer control and prevention are still in their infancy. More work and steps are needed before effective strategies can be formulated. Understanding and controlling cancer in an effective and efficient manner requires well-trained scientists across all branches of cancer science, from cellular and molecular aspects to patient care and palliative treatment. The Asian Pacific Organization for Cancer Prevention (APOCP) and its official publication, the Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention (APJCP), provide valuable services to the cancer scientist community and intend to continue serving in this capacity. One of APOCP's goals is to provide relevant and current scientific information across the entire field of cancer science. They aim to offer a forum for the communication and dissemination of original and innovative research findings related to understanding the etiology, progression, treatment, and survival of patients. APJCP boasts an outstanding and diverse team of editors, reviewers, and readers from across Asia, ensuring the highest standards of research communication in the cancer science community both in Asia and globally. APJCP publishes original research findings in the following categories: - Epidemiology, detection, and screening; - Cellular research and biomarkers; - Identification of biological targets and drugs with new mechanisms of action; - Optimal clinical application of existing anticancer drugs, including combination therapies; - Radiation and surgery; - Palliative care; - Patient compliance, quality of life, and satisfaction; - Health economic evaluations.
