Use this Cancer Control template when the manuscript has to match that journal before you upload it.
It is the writing shell for Cancer Control: title and authors, the abstract, the body, declarations, figures, and the reference list.
A Cancer Control submission has a title page with authors and affiliations, an abstract, keywords, the main text for your article type, declarations, the reference list, and figures and tables. This page does not invent a word limit. Where a rule is not listed below, it was not confirmed.
Open the journal's current author guide before you upload.
The sections a Cancer Control submission is built from, in order: title page, abstract, keywords, main text, declarations, references, figures, and tables. It does not replace the journal's own checklist.

|---|---|
| Abstract | Not specified in the official author guidelines |
| Main text | Organize sections for the chosen article type; no single overall word limit is stated in the accessible guide |
| Declarations | Ethics approval/consent as applicable; competing interests; funding; data availability |
| Figures/tables | Publication-ready; cited in order |
| Supplemental | Upload separately when used |

Open the author guide once before you draft and once before you upload. Match a recent Cancer Control paper for depth, headings, and figure style.
Then submit on the journal's portal, not from this page.
