Cancer Science is the official journal of the Japanese Cancer Association. Cancer Science publishes original articles, editorials, and letters to the editor, describing original research in the fields of basic, translational and clinical cancer research. The Journal also accepts reports and case reports. Reports are intended to present highly significant and timely findings. They are not intended simply to be short versions of original articles. Case reports should describe new findings that have a significant clinical impact on oncologists or that may alter the disease concept of a tumor. Case reports of the following contents will not be accepted for publication: description of a rare tumor or condition without new findings to be added to previous reports; combination of different tumors without new suggestive findings for oncological research; remarkable effect of already known treatments without suggestive data to explain the exceptional result. Review articles may also be published. The following subject categories are covered:
Basic and Clinical Immunology
Carcinogenesis
Cell, Molecular, and Stem Cell Biology
Clinical Research
Drug Discovery and Delivery
Epidemiology and Prevention
Genetics, Genomics, and Proteomics
Inflammation and Virology
Pathology
Cancer Science does not accept work that is funded in any part by tobacco industry sources (effective from 1 January 2017).
PRE-SUBMISSION RESOURCRE
Article Preparation Support
Wiley Editing Services offers expert help with English Language Editing, as well as translation, manuscript formatting, figure illustration, figure formatting, and graphical abstract design – so you can submit your manuscript with confidence.
Also, check out our resources for Preparing Your Article for general guidance about writing and preparing your manuscript.
Optimising Your Article for Search Engines
Many students and researchers looking for information online will use search engines such as Google, Yahoo or similar. By optimising your article for search engines, you will increase the chance of someone finding it. This in turn will make it more likely to be viewed and/or cited in another work. We have compiled these guidelines to enable you to maximise the web-friendliness of the most public part of your article.
EDITORIAL REVIEW AND ACCEPTANCE
The acceptance criteria for all papers are the quality and originality of the research and its significance to our readership. Except where otherwise stated, manuscripts are single-blind peer reviewed by two anonymous reviewers, the Associate Editor, and the Editor. Final acceptance or rejection rests with the Editors, who reserve the right to refuse any material for publication.
Authors may present names of potential reviewers and of reviewers whom they would prefer not to review the manuscript. The choice of reviewers remains the Editor's prerogative.
A manuscript requiring revision will be returned to the author by email, along with specific suggestions for revision. Authors should follow the instructions below to submit revised manuscripts:
The author should reply to the suggestions clearly in the “Author’s Response” section by indicating places where revisions have been made, and/or by stating reasons for disregarding other suggestions if they are thought to be unacceptable.
Modified parts should be highlighted using underline, colored font, the highlight function or track changes. The revised manuscript should then be resubmitted. Revised manuscripts should be returned to the Editorial Office within 2 months (minor revision) or 3 months (not acceptable in present form: major revision); otherwise they are considered to be new submissions and will be assigned a new date of receipt.
Manuscripts should be written so that they are intelligible to the professional reader who is not a specialist in the particular field. They should be written in a clear, concise, direct style. Where contributions are judged as acceptable for publication on the basis of scientific content, the Editor and the Publisher reserve the right to modify typescripts to eliminate ambiguity and repetition and to improve communication between author and reader. If extensive alterations are required, the manuscript will be returned to the author for revision.
Before review, all manuscripts submitted to Cancer Science is checked with the iThenticate software to detect instances of overlapping and similar text. To find out more about iThenticate and Similarity Check visit http://www.crossref.org/crosscheck.html.

Figure legends.
Type figure legends on a separate sheet. Legends should be concise but comprehensive – the figure and its legend must be understandable without reference to the text. Include definitions of any symbols used and define/explain all abbreviations and units of measurement.
Supporting Information
Supporting Information can be a useful way for an author to include important but ancillary information with the online version of an article. Examples of Supporting Information include additional tables, data sets, figures, movie files, audio clips, 3D structures, and other related nonessential multimedia files. Supporting Information should be cited within the article text, and a descriptive legend should be included. It is published as supplied by the author, and a proof is not made available prior to publication; for these reasons, authors should provide any Supporting Information in the desired final format.
For further information on recommended file types and requirements for submission, please visit here
Supporting figures, tables and text must be numbered Fig. S1, Fig. S2, etc., Table S1, Table S2, etc. and Doc. S1, Doc S2, etc, respectively.
The availability of supporting information needs to be indicated in the main manuscript by a paragraph, to appear after the References, headed 'Supporting information' and providing titles of figures, tables and text.
An author's website cannot be used as supporting information.
MANUSCRIPTS
Authors are required to provide electronic copies of their manuscripts to be submitted online. The following instructions should be adhered to:
Lines should be double-spaced.
Do not use the carriage return (Enter) at the end of lines within a paragraph.
Turn the hyphenation option off; include only those hyphens that are essential to the meaning.
Specify any special characters used to represent non-keyboard characters.
Take care not to use l (ell) for 1 (one), O (capital o) for 0 (zero) or ß (German esszett) for ß (Greek beta).
Use a tab, not spaces, to separate data points in tables. If you use a table editor function, ensure that each data point is contained within a unique cell (i.e. do not use carriage returns within cells).
POST-ACCEPTANCE
ARTICLE PUBLICATION CHARGE
All the manuscripts accepted for publication in Cancer Science will be published as open access articles, immediately free to read, download and share. You or your funder will be required to pay an Article Publication Charge on acceptance. Please refer to the article publication charges page for more details. Invited articles are free of any publication charges.
We will waive or discount charges for corresponding authors covered by the Research4Life Initiative (see the Wiley Open Access Waiver Country List). Authors of articles should be aware that publication of their manuscript cannot proceed without payment of the article publication charge. Authors are therefore requested to pay the article publication charge promptly i.e. within two weeks of receipt of the invoice.
OPEN ACCESS AGREEMENT (OAA)
If your paper is accepted, the author identified as the formal corresponding author for the paper will receive an email prompting them to login into Author Services; where via the Wiley Author Licensing Service (WALS) they will be able to complete the license agreement on behalf of all authors on the paper.
The following license agreements are available:
Creative Commons Attribution Non-Commercial (CC-BY-NC) license
Creative Commons Attribution-Non-Commercial-NoDerivs (CC-BY-NC-ND) license.
From 1st April 2013, RCUK or Wellcome trust funded authors will be directed to sign the open access agreement under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution (CC-BY) license in order to be funder compliant.
For more information on the terms and conditions of these licenses, please visit here.
PROOFS
Authors will receive an e-mail notification with a link and instructions for accessing HTML page proofs online. Page proofs should be carefully proofread for any copyediting or typesetting errors. Online guidelines are provided within the system. No special software is required, all common browsers are supported. Authors should also make sure that any renumbered tables, figures, or references match text citations and that figure legends correspond with text citations and actual figures. Proofs must be returned within 48 hours of receipt of the email. Return of proofs via e-mail is possible in the event that the online system cannot be used or accessed.
After online publication, further changes can only be made in the form of an Erratum, which will be hyperlinked to the article.
Submitting authors who will not be available to check their proofs should appoint someone to proofread their article. If the proof is not returned by the appointed date, it may be signed off on by the Editor or held over to the next issue.
ACCEPTED ARTICLES LITE
'Accepted Articles' have been accepted for publication and undergone full peer review but have not been through the copyediting, typesetting, pagination and proofreading process. Accepted Articles Lite are published online a few days after final acceptance, appear in abstract format only, are given a Digital Object Identifier (DOI), which allows them to be cited and tracked, and are indexed by PubMed. A completed copyright form is required before a manuscript can be processed as an Accepted Article Lite.
COVER ART
Authors are invited to send in suggestions for colour images to be used as cover art for Cancer Science. The images should be visually exciting and should be relevant to any aspect of cancer research. Images should be uploaded in TIFF or EPS format at the highest possible resolution together with a brief description of the image provided.
EARLY VIEW
Cancer Science is covered by Wiley’s Early View service. Early View articles are complete full-text articles published online in advance of their publication in a printed issue. Articles are therefore available as soon as they are ready, rather than having to wait for the next scheduled print issue. Early View articles are complete and final. They have been fully reviewed, revised and edited for publication, and the authors’ final corrections have been incorporated. Because they are in final form, no changes can be made after online publication. The nature of Early View articles means that they do not yet have volume, issue or page numbers, so Early View articles cannot be cited in the traditional way. They are therefore given a Digital Object Identifier (DOI), which allows the article to be cited and tracked before it is allocated to an issue. After print publication, the DOI remains vaild and can continue to be used to cite and access the article. More information about DOIs can be found at http://www.doi.org/faq.html
OFFPRINTS
A minimum of 50 offprints will be provided upon request, at the author's expense. These paper offprints may be ordered online. Please visit here, fill in the necessary details and ensure that you type information in all of the required fields.
WILEY AUTHOR SERVICES
