CALL FOR PAPERS: Special Issue on Cancer
Brain, Behavior, and Immunity
Sponsored by the National Cancer Institute (NCI)
Basic Biobehavioral and Psychological Sciences Branch
The special issue on cancer in Brain, Behavior, and Immunity will be published in February 2013 and will commemorate the tenth anniversary of the 2003 Brain, Behavior, and Immunity supplement, "Biological Mechanisms of Psychosocial Effects on Disease: Implications for Cancer Control," a landmark volume on biobehavioral mechanisms of behavioral and psychological influences on cancer.
Specific areas of research will include:
- Biobehavioral influences on inflammation and implications for cancer
- Psychological/social influences on immunity and implications for cancer
- Central and peripheral nervous system regulation of the tumor microenvironment
- PNI mechanisms of cancer risk, symptoms, and survivorship
- Biobehavioral mechanisms and outcomes associated with interventions and exposure to
cancer therapies
- Biobehavioral perspectives on circadian regulation of cancer
- Biobehavioral interactions that underlie cancer and other diseases
- Psychological/social regulation of peripheral blood and tumor gene expression
- Sympathetic nervous system and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis activation of tumor viruses

Biological Mechanisms of Psychosocial Effects on Disease: Implications for Cancer Control
Edited by Andrew H. Miller
We are pleased to announce the publication of a supplemental special issue of Brain, Behavior, and Immunity entitled "Biological Mechanisms of Psychosocial Effects on Disease: Implications for Cancer Control." This special issue is a product of the Biological Mechanisms of Psychosocial Effects on Disease (BiMPED) initiative sponsored by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and led by the Basic Biobehavioral Research Branch (BBRB) of the Behavioral Research Program, Division of Cancer Control and Population Sciences. The BBRB, the NCI Office of Cancer Complementary and Alternative Medicine, the National Institute of Mental Health, the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal, and Skin Diseases, and the Office of Behavioral and Social Sciences Research provided fiscal support for this publication.
The objective of our BiMPED initiative is to evaluate the state-of-the-science in psychoneuroimmunology and related fields, and the applicability of this research to cancer control. Articles in this issue of Brain, Behavior, and Immunity were based on presentations from the BiMPED scientific meeting sponsored by BBRB in March 2002. The special issue also features scientific commentaries from senior and emerging leaders in cancer-related psychoneuroimmunology. These leaders offer their unique perspective on the opportunities and challenges for future research.
We are proud of this publication and hope you will enjoy reading it. We anticipate that the special issue and the BiMPED initiative will stimulate basic and applied research in psychoneuroimmunology and shape the field's contribution to the collective effort of discovery, development, and delivery in the control of cancer for all.
