The AORTIC Journal of Cancer Research is an open-access journal dedicated to advancing oncology research, practice, and scientific training, with a specific emphasis on the African continent and the Global South.
As the official publication of the African Organisation for Research and Training in Cancer (AORTIC), we serve as a critical bridge between laboratory discovery, clinical excellence, and public health policy. Our scope is intentionally broad yet regionally focused, prioritizing research that addresses cancer disparities.
Molecular biology and genetics research exploring biological mechanisms of cancer within diverse populations.
Innovative approaches to risk reduction and community-based screening programs adapted for resource-limited settings.
Evidence-based studies on surgical interventions, radiotherapy, medical oncology, and pediatric management.
Focusing on long-term outcomes, quality of life, and holistic support for cancer patients and their families.
Data-driven research on oncology infrastructure and workforce development to inform national cancer control plans.
Highlighting multi-country partnerships that drive capacity building and cross-border knowledge exchange.
Tracking cancer incidence, identifying population-level risk factors, and monitoring the impact of interventions on cancer trends across diverse regions.
The journal welcomes original research, systematic reviews, case reports, and perspectives that contribute to a more equitable global understanding of cancer burden and care.
