CANCER CAUSES & CONTROL
Scope & Guideline
Connecting Research to Real-World Cancer Solutions
Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Epidemiological Studies:
The journal publishes research that investigates cancer incidence, prevalence, risk factors, and survival outcomes across diverse populations, utilizing both quantitative and qualitative methodologies. - Health Disparities and Equity:
A core focus is on understanding and addressing disparities in cancer outcomes based on race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and geographic location, aiming to promote health equity. - Community Engagement and Participatory Research:
The journal emphasizes the importance of community involvement in cancer research, promoting studies that engage local populations in identifying their cancer-related needs and priorities. - Intervention Studies:
Research on effective interventions for cancer screening, prevention, and treatment adherence is a significant aspect, including studies that assess the impact of public health initiatives. - Behavioral and Lifestyle Factors:
Investigations into the role of lifestyle factors, such as diet, physical activity, and psychosocial aspects, in cancer risk and survivorship are frequently featured. - Biomarkers and Genetic Studies:
The journal includes research on the genetic and biological underpinnings of cancer, exploring correlations between genetic markers and cancer risk or treatment outcomes.
Trending and Emerging
- Social Determinants of Health:
There is a significant increase in studies examining how social, economic, and environmental factors contribute to cancer disparities, emphasizing the need for comprehensive approaches to cancer control. - Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR):
The journal is witnessing a rise in publications employing CBPR methodologies, which actively involve community members in the research process to ensure that findings are relevant and actionable. - Mental Health and Cancer:
Emerging research focuses on the intersection of mental health and cancer outcomes, exploring how psychological factors influence cancer progression and survivorship. - Innovative Screening Interventions:
There is a growing trend towards evaluating new screening methods and outreach strategies that improve accessibility and uptake, particularly in underserved populations. - Intersectionality in Cancer Research:
Increasingly, studies are considering the intersection of multiple identities (e.g., race, gender, sexuality) and their impact on cancer experiences and outcomes, leading to a richer understanding of health disparities. - Nutrition and Cancer Prevention:
Research exploring the role of dietary patterns and nutrition-related interventions in cancer prevention and survivorship is gaining momentum, reflecting a holistic approach to cancer control.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Cancer Risk Factors:
Research focusing exclusively on traditional risk factors (such as smoking and alcohol consumption) has seen a decline, as the field increasingly emphasizes complex interactions involving social determinants and lifestyle. - Single-Disease Focus:
There is a waning emphasis on studies targeting individual cancer types in isolation, with a shift towards broader investigations that consider multiple cancer types and their interconnections. - Basic Laboratory Research:
While important, the volume of basic science studies that do not directly connect to epidemiological or community-focused applications appears to be decreasing within the journal. - Outdated Screening Methods:
Research centered on older screening techniques without a contemporary context or evaluation of novel methods is less frequently published, as the field moves towards innovative screening approaches. - General Public Awareness Campaigns:
Public health campaigns that do not integrate community feedback or local context are increasingly less featured, as there is a growing recognition of the need for tailored, community-driven approaches.
