Editor's Message

Dear Coleagues,

In the modern academic and scientific landscape, most scientific journals have transitioned to online platforms and predominantly publish content in English. This shift reflects the global nature of research and the need for accessibility and widespread dissemination of knowledge. We think this evolution is necessary in the” Revista do Grupo de Estudos do Cancro do Pulmão”.

THORAC a brand-new scientific journal was created from the ground up to meet the evolving needs of the academic and research community.

The Journal has a completely new organizational structure, with a new Editor-in-Chief, four Deputy Editors and a Technical Editor. The journal's body of reviewers was updated and expanded to meet the various requests. The publication rules are clear and objective, allowing the publication of articles in English. We have a new system for submitting and publishing articles.

To follow a safe and quality path towards future indexing, the old issues of the GECP Journal will be available online for consultation.

We would like to express our deepest gratitude to the previous editors of this journal for their dedication over the years. Their commitment in keeping the journal in publication throughout these years against all odds has been instrumental in shaping the identity and reputation of this publication. As we transition the journal to its new format, we do so with respect for the legacy they have left behind. Their vision and efforts remain a source of inspiration as we strive to adapt to the evolving demands of the scientific community, maintaining the same dedication that they exemplified.

Built with a fresh vision and a commitment to excellence, this journal will focus on all areas related to Thoracic Cancer, ensuring relevance and impact. Our goal is to create a space that not only highlights our work but also encourages collaboration and the sharing of ideas.

We look forward to welcoming contributions from researchers, scholars, and practitioners worldwide as we embark on this new journey.
