## TL;DR

Annals of Internal Medicine is the American College of Physicians' journal. In cancer it carries the US Preventive Services Task Force evidence reviews and modelling studies that set screening ages and intervals, so primary care doctors read it for screening guidance rather than treatment trials.

## Summary

Publishes the ACP guidance statements, US Preventive Services Task Force evidence reviews and decision-analytic modelling that underpin cancer screening ages and intervals, alongside cohort studies on cancer risk factors. Hybrid access with a strong methods focus (it hosts the PRISMA and other reporting-guideline statements).
