A journal owned by the people who do the work
CRMSSS publishes original research, reviews, and clinical perspectives across the three pillars of modern radiation medicine: Screening, Surveillance, and Survivorship. It is the scholarly home of the CureRays Innovation & Education Institute.
We are ushering in a new model of scholarly publishing. Rather than paying legacy journals to carry our work, we invest in ourselves: authors retain ownership, readers subscribe or pay to access the full text, and those proceeds fund the researchers and the peer reviewers directly. It is a self-sustaining loop that keeps the value of discovery with the people who create and validate it.
Scope — Screening, Surveillance & Survivorship
Screening
Detecting new and recurrent cancer early, when it is most treatable.
Surveillance
Structured, individualized follow-up that catches change at low volume.
Survivorship
Reducing toxicity and improving how patients live after treatment.
How CRMSSS works
Every manuscript moves through an open, accountable pipeline:
1. Submit
Authors submit manuscripts to the Institute. Each is logged and given a public status.
2. Peer review
We invite and compensate our own peer reviewers. Manuscripts under review are listed as pending.
3. Reviews posted
Completed peer reviews are made visible alongside the manuscript — transparent, on the record.
4. Published
Peer-reviewed articles are published with a free preview; the full text is available to subscribers or by per-article purchase.
Access & the paywall
Free preview
Every article's abstract and preview is free to read for everyone.
Full text
Unlock the complete manuscript, figures, and data by subscribing to CRMSSS or purchasing the individual article.
Your payment funds the work
Subscription and article revenue is paid to the authors and reviewers who produced and validated the research.
Institutional subscriptions
Clinics, libraries, and departments can subscribe on behalf of their teams. Contact the Institute to arrange access.
First in the collection: cardiac toxicity sparing
The inaugural CRMSSS collection centers on cardiac toxicity sparing in radiation therapy — reducing incidental radiation dose to the heart and its substructures. The first manuscripts are in preparation, with a body of related literature to follow. Track their status in the pipeline below.
