On the completion of the year 2022 for Oncology in Clinical PracticeWith this issue of Oncology in Clinical Practice (OCP) we are closing the current volume. This has motivated the Editors to share some insights into the Journal's status quo, as well as to acknowledge those who actively supported us during this year that is about to end.We have managed to publish all six issues in the 2022 volume on a timely basis, that is no later than the last day of every second month, meeting again this basic criterion of any journal's credibility. The volume has included 11 research papers, 18 reviews, and 7 case reports. Three new Society guidelines have also become available: the first on diagnostic and therapeutic management of thoracic neoplasms, the second on skin carcinomas and the third on melanoma patients in issues 2022/1, 2022/2 and 2022/6, respectively. At the moment, when the last issue is being published, there have been 18 early publications in the 'online first' panel.This year, the article that has, so far, generated most interest in terms of downloads (over 400) and views (over 2000) has been the review titled: 'EORTC QLQ-C30 and EORTC QLQ-PR25 -tools for assessing the quality of life of men suffering from prostate cancer' by Jurys et al. from the Medical University of Silesia, Poland [1]. Their review describes important areas of health-related quality of life in patients with prostate cancer. Some of the challenges facing this line of research are elucidated. Assessment of quality of life in cancer patients is an integral part of clinical trials, and it is very important in clinical practice due to significant improvements in the management of patients.
