Disparities in Cancer Prevention, Screening, Diagnosis and Management
This special issue belongs to the section "Cancer Epidemiology and Prevention".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In this Special Issue of Cancers, we aim to highlight recent research into disparities in cancer prevention, screening, diagnosis, and management. We plan to highlight novel research into racial, ethnic, sexual orientation, and gender minorities. Additionally, we plan to highlight novel research into those impacted by the structural and social determinants of health. We are especially interested in solutions-based research which aims to overcome the challenges in the way of achieving equitable cancer care, studies evaluating the financial toxicity of cancer care, and those including patient-reported outcomes. We welcome submissions of clinical trials, interventional studies, observational studies, methodological research, reviews, and perspectives.
Dr. Eliza W. Beal
Guest Editor
