Cancer is the second cause of overall mortality in the world (Abegunde et al., 2007), with approximately 12.5 million new cases and 7.5 million deaths each year (Ferlay et al., 2010;Jemal et al., 2011).Many cancers are preventable, and cancer control represents a global challenge which will be significantly aided by increasing our knowledge of distribution, causes, and methods for prevention of cancer.This journal, Frontiers in Cancer Epidemiology and Prevention, is dedicated to publishing papers on the distribution, etiology, and prevention of cancer.In this article, we present our vision for the Journal.We discuss what has been discovered, what lies ahead, and what papers we hope to receive from authors.The overall scope of the Journal is summarized in Figure 1.
