Back to the Essence of Medical Treatment in Oncology

Online article from ESMO Open

A recent article appearing in ESMO Open highlights ESMO’s hope that the 2015 WHO Model List of Essential Medicines (EML) will empower oncologists and advocates to demand routine availability of the medicines considered essential to guarantee quality care of cancer patients. 

Providing an ‘open community platform’, the peer-reviewed ESMO Open aims to rapidly and widely disseminate the best in innovative clinical and translational cancer research, and oncology policy.

Submit your research in all disciplines and therapeutic areas related to oncology. Article types include original articles, reviews, editorials and correspondence, as well as study protocols, phase I trials and meta-analyses.
