Scope & Guideline
Bridging Gaps in Cancer Research
Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Epidemiological Patterns and Trends:
The journal publishes studies that investigate trends in cancer incidence, prevalence, and mortality across different populations and time periods, utilizing various statistical methods to analyze these patterns. - Disparities in Cancer Care and Outcomes:
Research focusing on socio-economic, racial, and geographic disparities in cancer treatment and survival is a core area, highlighting the inequalities that affect different demographic groups. - Risk Factor Analysis:
The journal emphasizes studies that explore various risk factors associated with different types of cancer, including lifestyle, environmental exposures, and genetic predispositions. - Screening and Early Detection:
Papers often discuss the effectiveness and accessibility of cancer screening programs, aiming to improve early detection rates and subsequently enhance patient outcomes. - Health Policy and Cancer Prevention:
The journal addresses the implications of health policies on cancer prevention and screening, advocating for evidence-based interventions and public health initiatives. - Innovative Methodologies:
Studies utilizing novel methodologies, such as machine learning and geospatial analysis, to assess cancer epidemiology are encouraged, reflecting the journal's commitment to advancing research techniques.
Trending and Emerging
- Impact of COVID-19 on Cancer Care:
Research examining the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on cancer diagnosis, treatment delays, and screening participation has surged, highlighting the pandemic's significant impact on cancer care delivery. - Socioeconomic and Racial Disparities:
There is a growing emphasis on studies that investigate socioeconomic status and racial/ethnic disparities in cancer outcomes, recognizing the importance of social determinants of health in cancer epidemiology. - Use of Big Data and Advanced Analytics:
Emerging trends include the utilization of big data analytics and machine learning techniques in cancer research, allowing for more sophisticated analyses of large datasets to uncover patterns and associations. - Longitudinal and Cohort Studies:
An increase in longitudinal and cohort studies that track cancer incidence and outcomes over time is evident, providing valuable insights into trends and the long-term effects of various risk factors. - Environmental Exposures and Cancer Risk:
Research exploring the relationship between environmental factors, such as pollution and occupational exposures, and cancer risk is gaining traction, reflecting a broader interest in the environmental determinants of health.
Declining or Waning
- Basic Science and Laboratory Studies:
There seems to be a reduction in the publication of studies focused solely on the basic science aspects of cancer, such as cellular and molecular biology, as the journal increasingly emphasizes epidemiological and population-based research. - Solely Clinical Trial Results:
The journal appears to be moving away from publishing reports that solely present clinical trial results without epidemiological context, favoring studies that link clinical outcomes with broader population health trends. - Single Institution Studies:
Research focusing on single-institution experiences or outcomes without broader epidemiological implications is becoming less common, as the journal seeks studies with wider relevance and generalizability.
