The epidemiology of lung cancer, from exposure to outcome
JLCE publishes population research on lung cancer, together with clinical, molecular and methodological work that informs it. Topics include, for example:
S01
Occurrence and trends
Incidence, mortality and survival across populations and over time; cancer registries, surveillance and burden-of-disease studies.
S02
Causes and exposures
Tobacco and nicotine products, secondhand smoke, radon, air pollution, occupational carcinogens, genetic susceptibility and gene-environment interaction.
S03
Screening and early detection
Low-dose CT screening, eligibility and uptake, benefits and harms, and risk-prediction models.
S04
Prevention and control
Tobacco control policy, cessation, environmental and workplace regulation, and the evaluation of public health programs.
S05
Outcomes and care
Stage at diagnosis, treatment patterns, survival and survivorship studied at population level, and disparities in access to care.
These areas are illustrative. Cohort, case-control, registry, modeling and evidence-synthesis studies are welcome across all areas. Read the full Aims and Scope.
