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.
The field of oncology nursing represents a continuous challenge for numerous reasons. Cancer prevention, diagnostic methods, treatments, side effects and their management as well as living life after cancer are all changing. It is necessary to have a nursing workforce that has the appropriate knowledge and skills in order to be able to provide such complex care. With this in mind, this special issue is aimed at the promotion of research and education in the cancer nursing field. The articles presented here come from a variety of fields within oncology nursing practice. They provide illustrations of exemplary practice, nurse led research and educational initiatives in order to inform clinical practice.
