Abstract: | Clinicians will argue that cancer can only really receive the treatment that is needed through thorough understanding of medicine.
However, even empirical approaches to therapy result in experimental analysis of the agencies involved on test cells, usually
in culture. From the obverse perspective, cell biologists will argue that until we fully understand cell cycle regulation,
tumour management will be too imprecise to make the best advances. A forum is needed whereby the fundamental studies on cells
prior to, during and after transformation in vitro can be freely reported (open access) and discussed. The action of anticancer
agents and cancer preventative substances can more easily be studied in vitro before the often excessive complexity of making
similar studies in experimental and human cancers is tackled. Cancer Cell International is committed to providing such a forum. Ironically within a few months of launching this open access journal, Elsevier had
much the same idea, and there one has to pay for the privilege of downloading vital papers in this biomedical field. |
