Publish your Oncology research fast, openly and without restrictions

Submit now to F1000Research

Rapid, open publication is fundamental in complex areas of research like Oncology, where immediate access to robust science is crucial for improving the prevention, detection and treatment of Cancer.

F1000Research's innovative publication model enables the rapid and transparent dissemination of research by providing fast, open publication alongside immediate access to any underlying data, software code and resources. Our Open Access platform allows researchers to publish a wide range of research outputs - from traditional Research Articles to more unique formats, such as Study Protocols, Data Notes, and Method Articles. Additionally, all articles undergo transparent, invited post-publication peer review before being indexed in PubMed Central, MEDLINE and Scopus, with expert reviews freely available for anyone to read. 

We welcome articles covering all areas of Oncology including, but not limited to:

  • Cancer Diagnosis and Prognosis
  • Cancer Biology
  • Clinical Oncology
  • Cancer Epidemiology & Prevention
  • Cancer Surgery & Therapy
  • Survivorship

Our unique publication model, combined with our progressive Open Data Policy, makes F1000Research the perfect home for transparent, reproducible Oncology research.

Ex-vivo drug screening of surgically resected glioma stem cells to replace murine avatars and provide personalise cancer therapy for glioblastoma patients

Traditional preclinical and animal-based drug discovery strategies have high clinical failure rates. Ex-vivo approaches address intra-tumoral and inter-patient variability earlier in drug discovery. High-grade gliomas could benefit significantly from ex-vivo approaches. The GliExP platform has been developed to maintain GSC populations using fresh surgical tissue. GliExP has been optimized to screen small molecule therapeutics and preclinical compounds against tumors from 18 different patients. Our data provides a strong basis to incorporate combination-based oncology therapeutics in tandem with standard-of-care therapies as an important preclinical alternative to murine models to identify effective treatment strategies for individual gliomas.

Case Report: Basaloid Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Tongue

Basaloid squamous cell carcinoma (BSCC) is a rare type of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) that affects the upper aerodigestive tract, particularly the hypopharynx, tonsil, supraglottic larynx, tongue (base), and head-neck regions. It is similar to conventional SCC but has a poorer prognosis. Histopathology and immunohistochemistry play a crucial role in diagnosing such tumors. Here we present the case of a 70-year-old male diagnosed with BSCC involving the tongue.

Differentiation of invasive ductal and lobular carcinoma of the breast using MRI radiomic features: a pilot study

Breast cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related deaths among women. Early and precise identification and differentiation of breast lesions are crucial for clinical management. This retrospective study aimed to test the accuracy of radiomic features (RF) extracted from dynamic contrast-enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging (DCE MRI) in distinguishing between invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) and invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC). The study included 30 patients with IDC and 28 patients with ILC. It showed that MRI-based RF derived from DCE sequences can be effectively used in clinical settings to differentiate malignant breast lesions such as IDC and ILC without requiring intrusive procedures.
