By submitting a manuscript to the journal, authors confirm that the work is their own original contribution and that all content, including text, clinical data, experimental results, figures, tables, images, and interpretations, has been prepared honestly and accurately without fabrication, falsification, or inappropriate manipulation.

Any use of previously published material, including clinical images, datasets, or figures, must be clearly acknowledged and properly cited. Where required, permission must be obtained for reuse of copyrighted content.

If any form of duplication, plagiarism, or ethical misconduct is detected during the review or after publication, the journal reserves the right to reject, retract, or take appropriate corrective action against the manuscript.

The Journal of Cancer and Translational Oncology maintains a strict originality policy to ensure the integrity, credibility, and scientific quality of all published research in oncology and translational medicine.
