Must-Read 2021

Cancer Prevention Research recently updated its scope statement and named 10 subareas of primary interest to the journal. This collection features articles published from October 2020 to February 2021 that represent 6 of those key subareas: risk factors; early detection; preclinical cancer prevention; clinical cancer prevention; implementation science; and health policy and global cancer control. The editors consider these to be "must-read" pieces that are highly relevant to the journal’s mission and core interests.
