About Cancer Immunology Research

Scope

Cancer Immunology Research publishes outstanding original articles reporting major advances that span the discipline of cancer immunology, from basic investigations of host-tumor interactions to developmental therapeutics in model systems, early translational studies in patients, and in-depth analysis of late-stage clinical trials. The journal also publishes reviews and opinion pieces of broad significance across the spectrum of cancer immunology research. As the premier resource for disseminating knowledge of immunology to the cancer research community, the journal catalyzes cross-disciplinary work that yields a deeper understanding of the host-tumor relationship, more potent cancer treatments, and improved clinical outcomes.

Specific topics of interest include endogenous antitumor immunity, tumor-promoting inflammation, cancer antigens, vaccines, antibodies, cellular therapy, cytokines, immune regulation, immune suppression, immunomodulatory effects of cancer treatment, emerging technologies, and immunologically insightful clinical investigations.

Manuscript Submission

Cancer Immunology Research welcomes submission of original research, review articles, perspectives, commentaries, and letters to the editor. For descriptions and length requirements of the article types available to submitting authors, see the journal’s Categories of Articles.

The AACR Journals all use a similar Editorial Process and adhere to the same overarching Editorial Policies, both of which are detailed in the Instructions for Authors. These instructions contain important guidelines on authorship, publishing ethics, availability of materials and data, and data analysis and reporting. Authors should be familiar with these instructions prior to submitting their work to the journal.

Manuscripts are stringently reviewed for high standards of scientific merit, and only those articles that report results of novel, timely, and broadly significant research are accepted for publication.
