From exposure to prevention

Aims and Scope

The journal follows skin cancer across the whole population chain: who is exposed, who develops disease, how early it is found, and what reduces the burden. Clinical-outcome studies are welcome when they inform populations. Topics include, but are not limited to, the areas below. Read the full Aims and Scope.

  1. Exposure

    Ultraviolet radiation, sun protection, tanning, occupational and environmental exposures

  2. Risk

    Behavioral, genetic and environmental determinants; skin cancer in special populations

  3. Detection
