ecancermedicalscience is an open access cancer journal focused on under-resourced communities. In order to help reduce global inequalities in cancer care and treatment, we provide free access to all articles from the point of publication and we only charge authors who have specific funding to cover publication costs.
The journal considers articles on all aspects of research relating to cancer, including molecular biology, genetics, pathophysiology, epidemiology, clinical reports, controlled trials (in particular if they are independent or publicly funded trials), health systems, cancer policy and regulatory aspects of cancer care.
This special issue focuses on the challenges faced in Latin America due to its high prevalence of digestive tract neoplasias. There has been a steady increase in the incidence and mortality of gastric cancer in the region linked to economic growth and populations that are living longer and consuming more red meat and related products.
The five original articles in this issue represent significant contributions to a complex and extremely important field. They are all available in both Spanish and English.
