The AORTIC Journal of Cancer Research (ISSN: XXXX-XXXX) is the premier open-access platform dedicated to advancing oncology practice and scientific training with a specific emphasis on the African continent and the Global South.

As the official publication of the African Organisation for Research and Training in Cancer (AORTIC), we serve as a critical bridge between laboratory discovery, clinical excellence, and public health policy. Our scope is intentionally broad yet regionally focused, prioritizing research that addresses cancer disparities.

Core Thematic Pillars

Translational & Basic Science

Molecular biology and genetics research exploring biological mechanisms of cancer within diverse populations.

Prevention & Screening
