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 is dedicated to Geriatric Oncology in resource-limited settings, including essential data regarding global cancer and aging, and highlighting various initiatives aimed at providing high-quality care for older adults with cancer worldwide.
Geriatric Oncology is not a luxury for low and middle income countries, but rather a necessity, and the oncology community needs to make this one of its priorities. In an aging world, there is an incredible need for all stakeholders in low-resource settings, including patients, caregivers, clinicians, and policymakers, to join together to increase the geriatric competencies of the workforce and the capabilities of healthcare systems to provide care for older patients.
