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 editorial introduces a Special Issue on palliative care in cancer, with a focus on creativity and innovation in addressing challenges, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). The seven articles explore topics such as cancer pain management, financial toxicity, paediatric palliative care, and the urgent need for robust education and advocacy. By showcasing interdisciplinary collaborations and innovative strategies, the issue emphasises the integration of palliative care alongside cancer treatment, highlighting practical frameworks, inspirational examples, and research networks aimed at building capacity and improving holistic care for children and adults with cancer globally.
