About the Journal

The Journal of Targeted Oncology Research (JTOR) is an open-access journal dedicated to publishing cutting-edge research in oncology and targeted cancer therapies. The journal aims to promote the global exchange of knowledge and foster collaboration among researchers, clinicians, and healthcare professionals working to advance cancer diagnosis, treatment, and precision medicine.

JTOR serves as a comprehensive platform for disseminating innovative findings in cancer biology, molecular oncology, and translational research. It is committed to improving outcomes for cancer patients by highlighting advancements in targeted therapies, immunotherapies, and precision-based approaches.

The scope of JTOR encompasses all aspects of oncological research, with a particular focus on:

  • Development and application of targeted therapies and immunotherapies
  • Molecular diagnostics and personalized treatment strategies
  • Biomarker discovery and resistance mechanisms
  • Drug development and clinical trial innovations
  • The journal welcomes original research articles, review papers, case studies, and short communications that contribute to a deeper understanding of tumor biology and therapeutic innovation.

JTOR covers a broad spectrum of cancer types, including but not limited to breast, lung, gastrointestinal, genitourinary, hematological, and pediatric cancers. It also explores emerging areas such as cancer genomics, epigenetics, systems biology, and artificial intelligence in oncology.

By fostering interdisciplinary collaboration and providing a trusted global platform for scientific exchange, JTOR seeks to accelerate the translation of laboratory discoveries into effective clinical applications. The journal upholds a rigorous peer-review process to ensure the publication of high-quality, impactful research that drives progress in oncology and enhances patient outcomes.

With a mission to support evidence-based practice and promote innovation in cancer treatment, the Journal of Targeted Oncology Research (JTOR) aspires to be a leading international resource for oncologists, researchers, and industry professionals working toward a future where cancer is more effectively managed and ultimately, cured.
