Pathology & Oncology Research (POR) is an interdisciplinary journal at the interface of pathology and oncology, including the preclinical and translational research, diagnostics and therapy. Furthermore, POR offers an international forum for the rapid communication of reviews, original research, critical and topical reports with excellence and novelty. Published quarterly, POR is dedicated to keeping scientists informed of developments in its focused biomedical fields which span the gap between basic research and clinical medicine. A special aim of POR is to promote publishing activity in pathology and oncology of colleagues in the Central and East European region. The journal will interest pathologists, and a broad range of experimental and clinical oncologists, and related experts. Pathology & Oncology Research is supported by distinguished international advisory board and the Arányi Foundation for modern pathology.

Arányi Lajos Foundation was established to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the first Pathology Department in Hungary which was privately initiated by professor Lajos Arányi. His idea (complementary private support for state-financed medical institutions) is intended to be revitalized by the founders of "Arányi Lajos Foundation for Modern Pathology". The main goals of the Arányi Lajos Foundation are to attract public donations for infrastructural and methodologic developments in pathology and oncology and to support publication activities. The support of the Foundation to Pathology Oncology Research is gratefully acknowledged. Donations can be sent to:

Seminars (postgraduate courses) - The purpose is to give a state of the art (up-to-date) overview of a specific topic in pathology or oncology by an invited author. Nevertheless, non-invited manuscripts can also be accepted (in such case a preliminary contact with the Editorial Office is recommended, both to receive technical details and also to discuss the matter of acceptance). Maximum number of figures and tables: eight.
News (Market News) - Usually provided by the editors but is open for any professionals who want to publish scientific and market news (congresses, exhibitions, books, while publication of the contents of other journals can be negotiated on a mutual basis).

The abstract should be informative without reference to the manuscript.
Introduction - Provides background data which stimulated and/or initiated the study. The most relevant results from the literature should be summarized.
Materials and Methods - Should be sufficiently detailed in order to be repeated by other researchers.
Results - All important results should be given here avoiding repetition of data in the text and in the tables/figures. "Significant" is used only when results are statistically significant (P-value or confidence interval).
Discussion - Serves to interpret the results without repeating. There is no need for separate discussion in Short Communications or Case Reports.
Reference - References must be numbered and arranged according to the first citation in the text. The following formats must be used:
for periodicals
1. Boom H, Bim GH, Bam D: Do not take yourself too seriously. Phantasy 1: 1-9, 1996
for books
2. Boom H: Do not take yourself too seriously. Phantasy Publ Co, NewYork-London-Budapest, 1996
for articles in books
3. Boom H: Do not take yourself too seriously. In: Who is who and why. (Eds: Bim GH and Bam D), Phantasy Publ Co, 1996, pp. 1-9
In the text references should be cited by numbers in superscript or – if it is absolutely necessary – by the author's name with numbers (also in superscript). E.g. Boom1 or Boom and Bam4 or Boom et al.5
"In press" can be used (in place of volume and page number) only for papers by the author(s) that have been accepted for publication.
Cite submitted papers and unpublished data in the text only (but only when it is unavoidable).
Tables, Figures and their Legends - Should stand alone, be self-explanatory. Tables should be numbered consecutively (e.g. Table 3). Type tables double-spaced with titles and legends (footnote), and headings for columns. Figures (photographs, drawings, graphics) should be numbered consecutively (Fig 3 – to separate different parts of the figure/panel use capital letters). The preferred character font is Times. For computer printouts use laser or inkjet printers, but not dot-matrix. Three sets of each of the figures should be submitted. The back of each figure should show the authors name, the figure number and "top" of the figure should be indicated. Photographs should be clear, glossy prints (do not send negatives or figures on disk). For artwork use black ink. High quality color photos and illustrations are accepted without charge. Each color material (three sets) should be accompanied by one high quality positive slide. Figures should be sized to fit one columns (8 cm) or two column (16.7 cm); the maximum plate size is 16.7 cm x 23.7 cm. Use separate page for Legend to Figure(s).
Typescript - Manuscript should be double spaced, pages numbered consecutively with new pages for each section (Title page is page 1).
POR uses Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary as the standard for spelling.
Units should satisfy International System of Units (SI).
Specific products and companies should be identified to ensure exact recognition.
