Aging and Cancer

Aging AND Cancer is a quarterly peer-reviewed, international open access journal that is focused on understanding how the process of aging is a central component of cancer evolution and progression. The journal will cover basic, translational and clinical findings that are of broad interest, investigating the biology of and/or mechanisms via which age-associated deterioration of the individual, from macromolecules to tissues and organs, promote the onset, progression and relapse of cancer, treatment options and outcomes. Research areas of interest to Aging AND Cancer include (but are not limited to) • epigenetics • host microenvironment • microbiome • DNA damage and repair • stem cell function • immunotherapy • genomic instability • genomic profiling • inter-organ communication • metabolism • senescence • inflammation • pre-mature aging • evolutionary biology of aging and cancer risk • interventions that reduce aging-associated cancer risk • impacts of diet and exercise on cancer risk and therapeutic outcomes • geriatric oncology including clinical trials for elderly population
