BMC Cancer

Celebrating 20 Years of BMC Cancer

New Content Item (1) This year BMC Cancer is celebrating its 20^th Anniversary. Since launching in 2001 we are proud to have become a leading Open Access journal in the oncology field, considering all areas of cancer research from cancer cell biology to epidemiology to cancer therapeutics and much more. We're looking back at our achievements and highlighting some of the most influential research published in the journal over the past two decades.

Last month in BMC Cancer

New in experimental cancer therapeutics: Pre-clinical studies demonstrate that nimotuzumab conjugated to IRDye800CW is safe and does not exhibit toxicities commonly associated with EGFR targeting antibodies

New cancer survivorship study revealed that the use of antidepressants, sedatives and AEDs in patients with low-grad glioma was elevated at 1 year following surgery, compared to matched controls

New in cancer biology: Pilot study suggests that the lack of activation of immune system in the primary tumor might influence the multifactor process of ER+/HER2- breast cancers progression

New in cancer diagnostics: Kiritani et al. present a new rapid diagnostic system with ambient mass spectrometry and machine learning for colorectal liver metastasis

Cutaneous adverse drug reactions (CADR): New study contributes to the mechanistic understanding of the clinically observed CADR during therapy with EGFR inhibitors

New in cancer biology: Merle et al. present the acquisition of cancer stem cell capacities after spontaneous cell fusion
