Emerging Trends in Global Cancer Epidemiology: 2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

Cancer is a major public health challenge worldwide, with millions of new cases diagnosed every year. Understanding global trends in cancer incidence, mortality, prevalence, and survival across diverse populations is crucial in the field of cancer epidemiology and for identifying risk factors and potential preventive strategies. Over the past few decades, there have been many advances in cancer epidemiological research, including the use of large-scale data sets, new statistical methods, and innovative approaches to study design and analysis.

The goal of this Special Issue is to present an overview of the latest developments and trends in global cancer research. This Special Issue seeks to publish original research articles, reviews, and commentaries that highlight new and emerging trends in global cancer epidemiology. We also invite submissions on various topics related to the latest trends in global cancer epidemiology, including but not limited to the following:

1. Cancer incidence, mortality, prevalence, and survival trends across different populations and geographic regions;
2. Novel data sources and methods for cancer epidemiology research, including genomics, digital health, and machine learning;
3. The impact of social, environmental, and lifestyle factors on cancer risk and outcomes, including the role of diet, physical activity, and air pollution;
4. The effectiveness of cancer prevention and control strategies at the population level, including screening, early detection, and treatment;
5. The challenges and opportunities related to cancer epidemiology research in the context of global health, including data quality, ethics, and equity.

This Special Issue on new trends in global cancer epidemiology will provide a platform for researchers and practitioners to share their latest findings, insights, and perspectives on cancer epidemiology research. This Special Issue will also contribute to the advancement of knowledge and understanding of cancer as a global health challenge and inform the development of effective cancer prevention and control strategies at the population level.
