Welcome to BMC Cancer published by BioMed Central
BMC Cancer is an open access journal publishing original peer-reviewed research articles in all aspects of research relating to cancer, including molecular biology,
genetics, pathophysiology, epidemiology, clinical reports, and controlled trials.
BMC Cancer (ISSN 1471-2407) is indexed/tracked/covered by PubMed, MEDLINE, CAS, Scopus, EMBASE, Thomson Scientific (ISI) and Google Scholar.

Contrary to previous findings, a large case-control study finds no association between breast cancer and variants of the Nuclear Mitotic Apparatus protein (NuMA) gene.
BMC Cancer 2008, 8 :63
Increased physical activity among American women is associated with a decreased risk of pancreatic cancer, providing additional evidence that physical activity may potentially be protective against this malignancy.
BMC Cancer 2008, 8 :56
Adding docetaxel to anthracycline-based breast cancer chemotherapy regimens increases the incidence of reersible amenorrhea, and prolonged amenorrhea may be correlated with an increase in disease-free survival rates.
BMC Cancer 2008, 8 :46
Tumor necrosis factor alpha combined with histamine has growth inhibitory and cytolytic effects on normal keratinocytes, but may actually enhance migration of cervical carcinoma cells, suggesting that responsiveness to endogenous cytolytic mechanisms is lost in tumors.
BMC Cancer 2008, 8 :38
An ELISA using monoclonal antibodies against the C- and N-terminal regions of the human osteopontin protein has been developed which is highly accurate and is more sensitive than commercially available ELISAs.
