Redefining advances in modern oncology research

Kwong-Kwok Wong

Abstract


I am excited to be the new Editor-in-Chief of Advances in Modern Oncology Research and would like to thank the founding Editor-in-Chief, Dr. Omar Abdel Rahman, for his diligent service to the journal since its inception in 2015. AMOR, the abbreviation commonly used for the journal means “love” in Spanish. As an Open Access journal, I hope that AMOR will be a global platform to disseminate knowledge in modern oncology research from both basic and clinical scientists with a passion to find a cure for cancer.

Keywords
