Cancer Screening and Prevention (CSP) publishes high-quality research and review articles related to cancer screening and prevention. It aims to provide a platform for studies that develop innovative and creative strategies and precise models for screening, early detection, and prevention of various cancers. Studies on the integration of precision cancer prevention multiomics where cancer screening, early detection and prevention regimens can precisely reflect the risk of cancer from dissected genomic and environmental parameters are particularly welcome.

Specifically, CSP publishes epidemiological, translational, and clinical studies on screening, early diagnosis, prevention of various cancers, especially gastrointestinal cancers. Topics of particular interest include but are not limited to:

• Epidemiology of cancers
• New strategies or models
• Novel discoveries of biomarkers
• Novel devices and clinical application
• Innovative techniques and clinical application
• Novel theories and mechanisms
• Evidence-based medicine
• Early detection of cancer
• Precision cancer screening and prevention
• Future perspectives

The acceptable categories include original article, review article, systematic review, meta-analysis, short communication, letter to the editor, and invited editorial & commentaries on rapidly progressing areas within the scope. All articles published by CSP, both solicited and unsolicited, must have passed a rigorous peer review.
