Infectious Agents and Cancer is an open access, peer-reviewed online journal that encompasses all aspects of basic, clinical and translational research providing an insight into the association between chronic infections and cancer.
There are established links between specific chronic infections and cancer. Recent advances in genomic and proteomic technologies have accelerated the discovery of novel pathogens, cancer antigens and the molecular pathways involved in disease progression. Several new fields are developing very rapidly, in particular the application of immunogenomics and pharmacogenomics to fight specific cancers, targeting immuno-tolerated cellular/viral molecules by immuno and drug therapy.
