The Chinese Journal of Cancer Prevention and Treatment (CJCPT) operates under an open-access publishing model to ensure that published research is freely accessible to readers worldwide without subscription barriers.

To support the costs associated with manuscript handling, peer review management, editorial processing, production, online hosting, archiving, and long-term preservation of published content, an Article Processing Charge (APC) of USD 300 is applicable for accepted manuscripts.

Article Processing Charge

• APC: USD 300
