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 gathers together papers on the past and future of breast cancer research and treatment, as well as developments in psycho-oncology and patient empowerment, honouring the enormous contribution Professor Umberto Veronesi made over a lifetime of pioneering work.
We would like to thank the Umberto Veronesi Foundation for their kind sponsorship of this special issue.
