Please Note: The journal will be closed for new submissions from Mon Jun 15th 2026 for approximately 2 months to enable us to catch up with a backlog due to record numbers in recent months.

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.

Editor-in-Chief: Dr Enrique Soto Pérez de Celis MD, PhD, FASCO

ISSN: 1754-6605

NB:

  • The journal does not accept case reports
  • From 6 April 2026 APCs will apply to manuscripts submitted from countries classified as upper-middle-income or high-income.
  • Manuscripts may be declined after 60 days if suitable reviewers cannot be secured, to minimise delays and allow authors to submit their work elsewhere.
