Cancer Control

Aims & Scope

Cancer Control is a JCR-ranked open access journal whose mission is to advance the prevention, detection, diagnosis, treatment, and palliative care of cancer by enabling researchers, doctors, policymakers, and other healthcare professionals to freely share research along the cancer control continuum.

Our vision is a world where gold-standard cancer care is the norm, not the exception.

The journal is organized into five topical sections, as well as a sixth curated by members of the Moffitt Cancer Center.

The topical sections are inspired by the foci of the cancer control continuum (prevention, detection, diagnosis, treatment, survivorship).

Article Types and Topics of Interest Cancer Control welcomes original research (both basic and clinical studies), reviews, and commentaries.

We encourage submissions relating to advances in the following areas: Communications in cancer research Surveillance Social Determinants of Health Disparities Genetic Testing Decision-Making Dissemination of Evidence-Based Interventions Health Care Delivery and Quality of Care Epidemiology Measurement.
