Special Issue
As human populations enjoy extended life expectancy and undergo the epidemiological transition to non-communicable diseases, growth in cancer incidence and prevalence is bringing about an urgent need for improvements in cancer diagnosis, treatment and care in many countries, calling for increased research and investment. In an Editorial, Beryne Odeny discusses the aims and contents of the journal's Special Issue on early cancer detection and minimal residual disease. Articles in the issue were selected along with Guest Editors Chris Abbosh, Sara-Jane Dawson and Charles Swanton, and document innovations that have the potential to inform cancer research, care and policy.
