《獸醫(yī)與比較腫瘤學(xué)》是一個(gè)同行評(píng)審的出版物，整合了來自各種相關(guān)學(xué)科的臨床和科學(xué)信息，以及來自世界各地的所有獸醫(yī)腫瘤學(xué)家對(duì)家畜癌癥的病因、診斷和臨床過程及其預(yù)防的信息。這一目標(biāo)將通過發(fā)表原創(chuàng)文章以及其他科學(xué)和教育信息來實(shí)現(xiàn)。這些論文將支持獸醫(yī)腫瘤學(xué)各個(gè)方面的知識(shí)轉(zhuǎn)移，從新的實(shí)驗(yàn)室技術(shù)應(yīng)用到癌癥預(yù)防、早期檢測(cè)、診斷和治療，最終目的是減少癌癥的痛苦。除了原創(chuàng)文章外，該雜志還將發(fā)表征求性的社論、評(píng)論文章、臨床論文、評(píng)論、通信和從已發(fā)表的文獻(xiàn)中提取的摘要。征求性社論涉及同一期的手稿或當(dāng)前感興趣的主題。一篇評(píng)論文章將是對(duì)一個(gè)問題的及時(shí)、深入的討論。簡(jiǎn)短的交流可能包括病例報(bào)告、新技術(shù)/技術(shù)報(bào)告、“獸醫(yī)醫(yī)學(xué)圖像”（特色照片）等。編委會(huì)將從已發(fā)表的文獻(xiàn)中選擇摘要以供出版。出版手稿的最后決定權(quán)在編輯委員會(huì)，最終決定權(quán)在編輯。所有論文，無論是哪種類型，都將代表作者的意見，而不一定代表編輯或出版商的意見。預(yù)計(jì)隨著該雜志的建立，可能會(huì)有一些主題問題涉及到重要的領(lǐng)域或爭(zhēng)論，例如淋巴瘤的管理。獸醫(yī)和比較腫瘤學(xué)是獸醫(yī)癌癥學(xué)會(huì)、歐洲獸醫(yī)腫瘤學(xué)學(xué)會(huì)和日本獸醫(yī)癌癥學(xué)會(huì)的官方刊物。

Veterinary and Comparative Oncology is a peer-reviewed publication integrating clinical and scientific information from a variety of related disciplines and from worldwide sources for all veterinary oncologists concerned with aetiology, diagnosis and clinical course of cancer in domestic animals and its prevention. This objective will be accomplished by publishing original articles, as well as other scientific and educational information. These papers will support the transfer of knowledge in all aspects of veterinary oncology, from the application of new laboratory technology to cancer prevention, early detection, diagnosis and cure, with the ultimate aim of diminishing suffering from cancer. In addition to original articles, the Journal will publish solicited editorials, review articles, clinical papers, commentary, correspondence and abstracts from the published literature. A solicited Editorial relates to a manuscript in the same issue or a topic of current interest. A Review Article will be a timely, in-depth discussion of an issue. Brief Communications might include case reports, new techniques/technology reports, "images in veterinary medicine" (featured photographs), etc. The editorial board will select abstracts from the published literature for publication. The final decision on publication of a manuscript rests with the Editorial Board and ultimately with the Editors. All papers, regardless of type, will represent the opinion of the authors and not necessarily that of the Editors, or the Publisher. It is anticipated that as the journal becomes established, there may be themed issues to cover areas of importance or debate, e.g. the management of lymphoma. Veterinary and Comparative Oncology is the offical journal of the Veterinary Cancer Society, European Society of Veterinary Oncology, and Japanese Veterinary Cancer Society.
