Aims and scope

Emergency Cancer Care is the first journal dedicated to the emerging subdiscipline of oncologic emergency medicine. The journal promotes new knowledge and scholarly exchange, serving as a multidisciplinary platform of communication for the many disciplines involved in caring for oncologic emergencies.
 
Emergency Cancer Care publishes original research reports, reviews, and editorial commentary to advance science and practice in this unique subspecialty field. In addition to the evaluation and treatment of oncologic emergencies, the journal addresses cancer treatment toxicities, prevention opportunities in the emergent setting, and emergency department-based palliative care, as well as health services research and policy. Manuscripts addressing non-malignant hematology and sickle cell disease are also encouraged.

Springer Nature supports the United Nations 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in  recognising that ending poverty and other deprivations must go hand-in-hand with strategies that improve health and education, reduce inequality, and spur economic growth – all while tackling climate change and working to preserve our oceans and forests. Research towards these 17 goals is critical for global transformation to happen.

Emergency Cancer Care encourages Authors of Research articles and Review articles to submit a Graphical Abstract.

A graphical abstract is a figure that clearly and succinctly conveys the main message of your research (paper). 

The goal of a graphical abstract is to attract readers' attention to the article and encourage them to read the whole paper, but also promote interdisciplinary scholarship and help readers quickly identify which papers are most relevant to their research interests.

See the journal Submission Guidelines for more info on how to prepare a Graphical Abstract

Featured article: Emergency department-based cancer screening interventions

Emergency department patients are disproportionately non-adherent with the United States Preventive Services Task Force cancer screening recommendations, making the emergency department a target-rich environment for interventions aimed at increasing the uptake of cancer screening. 


In this narrative review, Adler and colleagues summarize the four types of cancer screenings with grade A or B recommendations from the United States Preventive Services Task Force (breast, cervical, colorectal, and lung). They present the potential enabling factors and challenges of utilizing the emergency department setting to increase cancer screening uptake.
