Announcing the new Editor-in-Chief of ecancermedicalscience

The simple extrapolation of data from high-income countries (HICs) without the corresponding information regarding local clinical, genetic, or molecular characteristics, availability of healthcare resources, and cultural and/or social barriers is insufficient to make appropriate therapeutic choices. [...]of these policies, in the last five years over 600 authors from more than 30 LMICs have published manuscripts in ecancermedicalscience. To ensure the proper evaluation and review of submitted articles, ecancermedicalscience’s Editorial Board and reviewers comply with a policy that recognises the characteristics, environment, and culture of cancer care and global health systems. ecancermedicalscience believes that good information and research originating in developing countries can be greatly beneficial for patients and health systems in HICs in terms of cost savings, access to care, and reduction of inequalities for immigrants and other underserved populations. Due to all these previous considerations and others of similar value, the Board of Directors of the ecancer Foundation has named Enrique Soto Pérez de Celis as the new Editor-in-Chief of ecancermedicalscience.
