Our publication categories are designed to capture the full spectrum of cancer research—from fundamental laboratory discoveries to clinical management and public health policy. We invite authors to contribute through the following article types:

• Original Research Articles High-impact studies presenting primary data and novel findings from basic, translational, clinical, or population-based oncology research.
• Review Articles Comprehensive and critical syntheses of existing literature on topics of current relevance to cancer science and care in the African context.
• Short Communications Concise reports of significant findings or innovative technical developments that warrant rapid dissemination to the global research community.
• Case Series and Case Reports Spotlighting unique clinical presentations, diagnostic challenges, or treatment outcomes, particularly those reflective of African healthcare settings.
• Guest Editorials Commissioned or submitted expert perspectives on critical issues in oncology, including research ethics, funding, and clinical practice standards.
• Commentaries Thought-provoking discussions on controversial topics, emerging trends, or policy shifts affecting the cancer research landscape in the Global South.
• Letters to the Editor Scholarly dialogue regarding articles previously published in the AJCR, promoting interactive and transparent scientific discourse.
• Conference Abstracts A platform for preserving and disseminating findings from regional and international oncology meetings affiliated with AORTIC.

All submissions undergo rigorous peer review to ensure the highest standards of scientific integrity and relevance to our mission of improving cancer outcomes in Africa.
