## TL;DR

Cancer Research is AACR's original journal, publishing since 1941: broad basic and preclinical cancer biology, tumour immunology and the AACR annual meeting abstracts.

## Summary

Cancer Research (Cancer Res) is the original journal of the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR), publishing since 1941, appearing twice a month and available on a hybrid model with articles free a year after publication. It covers broad basic and preclinical cancer biology, including the tumour microenvironment, tumour immunology, preclinical therapeutics and computational cancer biology, and it publishes the AACR annual meeting abstract supplement. Its readers are laboratory cancer biologists and preclinical researchers. Within OnCo it has its own Cancer Research source feed, is tied to the AACR institution entry and is linked from the Shari Pilon-Thomas and Evanthia Galanis biographies, and a reader would use it for preclinical biology and the AACR meeting abstracts.
