Standard Abbreviations

Journal of Cancer Prevention provides a list of standard abbreviations. Standard Abbreviations are defined as those that may be used without explanation (e.g., DNA). Abbreviations not on the Standard Abbreviations list should be spelled out at first mention in both the abstract and the text. Abbreviations should not be used in titles; however, running titles may carry abbreviations for brevity
