The objective of the Skin Cancer section is to expand our understanding of molecular and cellular mechanisms involved in skin cancer progression. Moreover, the section is dedicated to the publication of high-quality clinical, translational research as well as bioinformatics studies in a timely manner.
We are especially interested in receiving manuscripts centred on the fields of melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC), including basal cell carcinomas (BCCs), squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs), cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTLC), benign tumors as well as rarer forms of NMSC such as sebaceous gland carcinoma, Merkel cell carcinoma, angiosarcoma, and dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP).
Submission of preclinical and clinical trials as well as case reports are also welcome.
Specific areas of interest include:
- Cancer stem cells
- Tumor microenvironment
- Mechanisms of carcinogenesis, progression and metastasis
- Resistance to therapy
- Strategies for secondary prevention
- Biomarkers of progression
- Epidemiology of skin cancer
- Advances in diagnostic, prognostic and predictive biomarkers development
- Therapeutic approaches and drug development of various modalities (targeted therapy, immunotherapies, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, surgery, combination therapies)
Additional quality and content requirements:
- Negative trial results will not preclude consideration.
- Authors should demonstrate the biological effects on a minimum of two well-authenticated cancer cell lines.
- While we welcome meta-analyses and descriptive studies, these should be based on statistical methods or systematic reviews and should bring new insights into the mechanisms of carcinogenesis.
- Case Reports should include correlative data and expand the current knowledge on the pathophysiological and clinical manifestations of cancer while discussing the cellular and molecular levels of the disease.

Skin Cancer welcomes submissions of the following article types: Case Report, Clinical Trial, Correction, Editorial, Hypothesis and Theory, Mini Review, Opinion, Original Research, Perspective, Review and Systematic Review.
All manuscripts must be submitted directly to the section Skin Cancer, where they are peer-reviewed by the Associate and Review Editors of the specialty section.
Articles published in the section Skin Cancer will benefit from the Frontiers impact and tiering system after online publication. Authors of published original research with the highest impact, as judged democratically by the readers, will be invited by the Chief Editor to write a Frontiers Focused Review - a tier-climbing article. This is referred to as "democratic tiering". The author selection is based on article impact analytics of original research published in all Frontiers specialty journals and sections. Focused Reviews are centered on the original discovery, place it into a broader context, and aim to address the wider community across all of Oncology.
