    Human Pathology is designed to bring information of clinicopathologic significance to human disease to the laboratory and clinical physician. It presents information drawn from morphologic and clinical laboratory studies with direct relevance to the understanding of human diseases. Papers published concern morphologic and clinicopathologic observations, reviews of diseases, analyses of problems in pathology, significant collections of case material and advances in concepts or techniques of value in the analysis and diagnosis of disease. Theoretical and experimental pathology and molecular biology pertinent to human disease are included. This critical journal is well illustrated with exceptional reproductions of photomicrographs and microscopic anatomy.Case reports should be submitted to our open access companion title, Human Pathology: Case Reports.

These studies can include novel therapeutic approaches, new strategies for early diagnosis, cancer clinical trials, and supportive care, among others. Pre-clinical studies are discouraged. The journal's format also allows, on occasion, for a multi-faceted overview of a single topic via a curated selection of review articles, while also offering articles that present dynamic material that influences the oncology field.Original case reports featuring prevention, diagnosis and treatment of cancer, supportive care, quality of life and rehabilitation can be submitted to the journal's open access companion title, Current Problems in Cancer: Case Reports.(CPCCR). Any case reports submitted to Current Problems in Cancer (CPC) will be considered for publication in either CPC or CPCCR.
