JENCI, according to Dr. Elkhosht, is the official magazine of the National Cancer Institute, and was first issued in 1982.

This indicates compliance with international standards for acceptance in JENCI. The journal follows a double-blind peer-review system, with no less than 3 reviewers, two of whom are specialists in the field and the third a statistician.

JENCI also publishes papers on experimental oncology, early cancer detection and key emerging areas in diagnostic medicine such as molecular pathology, bioinformatics and biotechnologies.
Dr. Khairy confirmed that JENCI has been published on a regular monthly basis since its partnership with Springer Nature and publishes an average of 4 papers per month, noting the strict scientific and ethical standards followed by the editor-in-chief of the magazine, Dr. Hussein Khaled, former Minister of Higher Education and Professor of Oncology at the National Cancer Institute.
