  • Special Section: The History of Cancer Survivorship Centers in the US: Progress, Challenges, and Opportunities

    The population of individuals who have completed treatment for cancer and are in the survivorship phase is growing at a rapid pace. There are currently 18 million cancer survivors in the US, and there will be an estimated 26 million survivors by 2040. As the survivor population grows and their life expectancy increases due to continued treatment advances, comprehensive cancer centers have implemented cancer survivorship programs. The goal of this special section is to characterize the history and current status of cancer survivorship centers in seven cancer centers in the United States. Each center will describe the development of their program and address series of questions, which include the program’s focus, services, how it adds value to the cancer center and the catchment area, and clinical model for survivorship care, initial and current implementation challenges, research components of the program, how research is funded, evaluation metrics, success stories, and key challenges and opportunities for the future of the survivorship program in the cancer center and the field as a whole. This special section will be published as a set of eight solicited brief reports with cancer survivorship program pioneers and leaders, which include: Anne Blaes (Minnesota), Patti Ganz (UCLA), Sofia Garcia (NW/Lurie), Melissa Hudson (St Jude), Linda Jacobs (Penn), Ann Partridge (HMS), Lidia Schapira (Stanford), and Mary Reid (Roswell). 

  • Common Reasons Papers May Be Rejected

    This journal prioritizes papers that focus on cancer survivors post primary treatment for cancer although the journal will accept longitudinal or prospective studies that follow individuals prior to, during and following treatment when these papers highlight the impact on the post primary cancer treatment period for any length of time thereafter.

    JCSU editors reject many papers without peer review for a few common reasons. To help you decide whether JCSU is right for your manuscript, and to prepare your submission, please be aware that we check papers against the . . .

  • New JCSU Twitter account @jcansur

    The Journal of Cancer Survivorship publishes peer reviewed articles related to improving interdisciplinary understanding, prevention, and management of challenges related to cancer survivorship. The journal has a new social media account on Twitter @jcansurv (this opens in a new tab), maintained by Associate Editor Maryam Lustberg MD MPH, which posts the journal’s recently published (online) research articles on survivorship and strives toward engaging with cancer survivorship researchers and clinicians throughout the world.
