What We Publish
- Original Research — clinical, translational, molecular/biomarker studies, real-world evidence, outcomes research, and cancer epidemiology.
- Clinical Trials & Protocols — including trial design and methods (trial registration and ethics approvals required where applicable).
- Systematic Reviews & Meta-Analyses — evidence syntheses that inform clinical practice and policy.
- Case Reports & Case Series — novel presentations, unexpected toxicities, diagnostic challenges, or important learning points (patient consent required).
- Perspectives & Commentaries — health equity in oncology, implementation barriers, global oncology, survivorship, supportive and palliative care.
We especially welcome submissions that address cancer care gaps, access barriers, affordability, and outcomes in underserved or resource-limited settings.

As part of the American Society for Inclusion, Diversity, and Equity in Healthcare (ASIDE), the journal is committed to a fair and constructive editorial experience. We aim to help authors strengthen study reporting, clarify clinical relevance, and improve transparency (ethics, consent, and data availability).
- Editorial feedback designed to improve the manuscript before and during peer review.
- Clear expectations for ethics approvals, trial registration (when applicable), and patient consent for case reports.
- A scope check that prioritizes clinical significance, rigor, and responsible interpretation.
