Cancer Cell International publishes open access articles on all aspects of cancer cell biology, originating largely from work using cell culture techniques.

Much of cancer work relates to biological experiments in which cells are grown in vitro, in two- or three-dimensional systems. Such experiments have provided crucial data in many fields, from the chemoattraction of immune cells or blood vessel endothelial cells (angiogenesis), to measurements of effective doses of drugs, irradiation and other modalities.

As an established journal, Cancer Cell International publishes many interesting articles from all over the world.

Manuscripts from countries where open access would be particularly beneficial (developing countries, the former Soviet States, as well as countries where English is not the native language) will be given full consideration.
