HNCBT was established to provide a focused forum for research connecting the biology of malignant disease with therapeutic investigation. Its scientific remit spans basic cancer mechanisms, translational models and clinically relevant questions about diagnosis, treatment response and resistance.

Current publication stage

The journal is at its launch stage. Its public archive currently contains no published issues. A first-volume date, publication frequency or earlier title is therefore not presented as an established historical record.

Building the journal record

As issues are published, the archive will record the volume, issue and publication date associated with each article. Changes to the journal title, scientific scope, publishing arrangements or editorial leadership should be documented with their effective dates. Any future title history will distinguish the current journal from earlier or related publications.

Policy continuity

Editorial policies are intended to provide a consistent basis for manuscript assessment from the outset. Substantive policy changes will be communicated to affected authors and applied transparently. A change in policy will not remove existing corrections, retractions or other notices from the published record. Readers can consult Editorial Policies and Corrections & Retractions for the procedures governing that record.
