Familial Cancer

Journal Title：Familial Cancer

In recent years clinical cancer genetics has become increasingly important. Several events, in particular the developments in DNA-based technology, have contributed to this evolution. Clinical cancer genetics has now matured to a medical discipline which is truly multidisciplinary in which clinical and molecular geneticists work together with clinical and medical oncologists as well as with psycho-social workers.

Due to the multidisciplinary nature of clinical cancer genetics most papers are currently being published in a wide variety of journals on epidemiology, oncology and genetics. Familial Cancer provides a forum bringing these topics together focusing on the interests and needs of the clinician.

The journal mainly concentrates on clinical cancer genetics. Most major areas in the field shall be included, such as epidemiology of familial cancer, molecular analysis and diagnosis, clinical expression, treatment and prevention, counselling and the health economics of familial cancer.

近年来，临床癌症遗传学变得越来越重要。一些事件，特别是 DNA 技术的发展，促进了这一发展。临床癌症遗传学现已发展成为一门真正多学科的医学学科，临床和分子遗传学家与临床和医学肿瘤学家以及心理社会工作者一起工作。

由于临床癌症遗传学的多学科性质，大多数论文目前发表在各种流行病学、肿瘤学和遗传学期刊上。《家族性癌症》提供了一个将这些主题汇集在一起​​的论坛，重点关注临床医生的兴趣和需求。

该期刊主要集中于临床癌症遗传学。该领域的大多数主要领域都包括在内，例如家族性癌症的流行病学、分子分析和诊断、临床表现、治疗和预防、咨询和家族性癌症的卫生经济学。

Familial Cancer创刊于2001年，由Springer Netherlands出版商出版，收稿方向涵盖医学 - 遗传学全领域，此刊是中等级别的SCI期刊，所以过审相对来讲不是特别难，但是该刊专业认可度不错，仍然是一本值得选择的SCI期刊 。平均审稿速度较慢,6-12周，影响因子指数2.1，该期刊近期没有被列入国际期刊预警名单，广大学者值得一试。
