# CA: A Cancer Journal for Clinicians (ca-a-cancer-journal-for-clinicians) ## Journal positioning CA: A Cancer Journal for Clinicians is the flagship publication of the American Cancer Society and consistently ranks among the most widely read journals across all of medicine. It publishes authoritative invited reviews, clinical practice updates, and the definitive annual Cancer Statistics report — the primary epidemiological reference for U.S. cancer burden. The readership is broad-practice oncology: oncologists, primary-care clinicians, cancer researchers, and public-health professionals who need synthesis, not primary data discovery. Nearly all content is solicited by the editors; unsolicited primary research manuscripts are not the journal's core output. This skill is a **fit / venue-selection / re-framing** tool. It does not replace the journal's current official submission guidelines. Before submitting, re-check the live author instructions on the ACS / Wiley site and the editorial submission system. ## When to trigger - An author is invited by the CA editors to write a review, clinical update, or cancer-statistics analysis. - A manuscript is a comprehensive evidence synthesis

Where does this skill come from?
From brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills, a repository with 909 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
