Scope & Guideline
Bridging research and practice in cancer care.
Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Cancer Epidemiology and Public Health:
The journal covers studies that analyze cancer incidence, prevalence, and mortality rates, particularly in underrepresented populations, thereby contributing to a more comprehensive understanding of cancer's impact globally. - Innovative Treatment Modalities:
Research articles focus on novel therapies, including immunotherapy, targeted treatments, and combination therapies, highlighting their effectiveness in diverse patient populations and addressing disparities in access to care. - Healthcare Systems and Policy:
The journal explores the intersection of cancer care and health policy, examining how healthcare systems can be optimized to improve access, quality, and equity in cancer treatment, especially in resource-limited settings. - Patient-Centered Care and Survivorship:
The scope includes studies on quality of life, psychosocial aspects of cancer care, and survivorship issues, emphasizing the importance of holistic approaches to cancer treatment. - Educational and Training Initiatives:
The journal promotes articles that assess and enhance oncology education and training for healthcare professionals, particularly in low-resource environments, to improve cancer management and outcomes.
Trending and Emerging
- Telemedicine and Digital Health Solutions:
The rise of telemedicine, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, has led to increased research on its implementation in oncology, highlighting its potential to improve access to care and patient outcomes. - Health Disparities and Access to Care:
There is a growing focus on understanding and addressing disparities in cancer care, particularly in low- and middle-income countries, emphasizing the need for equitable healthcare solutions. - Immunotherapy and Personalized Medicine:
An increasing number of studies are dedicated to exploring immunotherapy and personalized treatment plans, reflecting a shift towards more effective and individualized cancer treatments. - Survivorship and Quality of Life Research:
Research on survivorship issues, including long-term effects of cancer treatment and quality of life assessments, is gaining traction, emphasizing the importance of holistic care for cancer survivors. - Interdisciplinary Approaches in Cancer Care:
Emerging themes include the integration of different specialties in cancer treatment, such as combining surgical, medical, and supportive care, to enhance patient outcomes and streamline treatment pathways.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Chemotherapy Approaches:
There has been a noticeable decrease in publications focusing solely on conventional chemotherapy regimens, as research increasingly shifts towards personalized medicine and targeted therapies that offer more effective treatment options. - General Cancer Awareness Campaigns:
While still relevant, the frequency of articles solely dedicated to general cancer awareness initiatives has decreased, possibly due to a growing emphasis on specific interventions and evidence-based strategies tailored to particular populations. - Palliative Care Focused Studies:
Although palliative care remains crucial, there has been a waning interest in studies that do not integrate palliative approaches with oncological treatments, suggesting a trend towards more comprehensive care models. - Single-Institution Studies:
Research focusing exclusively on single-institution experiences is becoming less common, as collaborative and multi-centre studies gain traction, reflecting a desire for broader applicability and generalizability of findings. - Basic Science and Laboratory Research:
There appears to be a decline in studies rooted in basic science related to oncology, as clinical applications and translational research take precedence in addressing urgent clinical needs.
