Dear Colleagues,

In regards to research on the epidemiologic of cancer, possible topics of interest may include: prevalence, incidence, mortality of overall and site-specific cancers (including trends and disparities); recurrence and progression of disease; risk factors (e.g., environmental, genetic, behavioral, medical conditions/co-morbidities, and medication use); trends in disease severity (e.g., stage, metastases); role of prevention, screening, and surveillance (including new diagnostic tests) on the epidemic; clinical and economic consequences; and prognosis and survival.
