Veterinary and Comparative Oncology

Veterinary and Comparative Oncology is a peer-reviewed publication integrating clinical and scientific information from a variety of related disciplines and from worldwide sources for all veterinary oncologists concerned with aetiology, diagnosis and clinical course of cancer in domestic animals and its prevention. This objective will be accomplished by publishing original articles, as well as other scientific and educational information. These papers will support the transfer of knowledge in all aspects of veterinary oncology, from the application of new laboratory technology to cancer prevention, early detection, diagnosis and cure, with the ultimate aim of diminishing suffering from cancer. In addition to original articles, the Journal will publish solicited editorials, review articles, clinical papers, commentary, correspondence and abstracts from the published literature. A solicited Editorial relates to a manuscript in the same issue or a topic of current interest. A Review Article will be a timely, in-depth discussion of an issue. Brief Communications might include case reports, new techniques/technology reports, "images in veterinary medicine" (featured photographs), etc. The editorial board will select abstracts from the published literature for publication. The final decision on publication of a manuscript rests with the Editorial Board and ultimately with the Editors. All papers, regardless of type, will represent the opinion of the authors and not necessarily that of the Editors, or the Publisher. It is anticipated that as the journal becomes established, there may be themed issues to cover areas of importance or debate, e.g. the management of lymphoma. Veterinary and Comparative Oncology is the offical journal of the Veterinary Cancer Society, European Society of Veterinary Oncology, and Japanese Veterinary Cancer Society.
