Edward Towpik, MD, to act as the Editor-in-Chief of the Nowotwory journal.After almost a quarter of a century of excellent work for the journal and the Polish oncological community, in April 2018, Professor Edward Towpik decided to resign from this position.It is worth recalling -necessarily in a nutshellhow much he has managed to achieve during this period.Soon after the election of the new Editor-in-Chief in Nowotwory principles of preparing the papers for printing recommended by the Committee of Medical Journal Editors (the so-called Vancouver style) were introduced.The text of these "principles", translated by the Editorial Team, was for the first time published in Polish in our journal.Due to the systematic growth in the number of incoming articles in 1998, the journal became a bimonthly.A year later, the format was changed and the layout modernised in accordance with global standards.Two layers later, Professor Towpik significantly changed the role and composition of the Editorial Board, inviting a group of foreign experts to participate and creating the International Editorial Board.Moreover, the journal started publishing articles in English (in electronic form) and the title of the journal was changed (Nowotwory Journal of Oncology).At that time, the Editor also decided to create the position of Co-Editor (since 2001, Dr Richard F. Mould from the UK, and since 2014 -the undersigned).The journal managed by Professor Edward Towpik has regularly published supplements on the history of Polish oncology (e.g. the first Polish edition of Wilhelm Konrad Roentgen's work On a new kind of rays from 1896), texts of habilitation (DSc) dissertations, collections of lectures and summaries from oncological congresses of scientific societies, including, first of all, the four Polish Congresses in Oncology that have been held so far.Professor Edward Towpik as the Editor-in-Chief of Nowotwory journal initiated and developed numerous excellent monographs, such as To bear testimony to the truth (Da wiadectwo prawdzie) by Professor Tadeusz Koszarowski, describing more than twenty years of effort, in the struggle leading to the Centre for Oncology being created at the Ursynw site, Warsaw.At the turn of the first and second decade of the 21st century, the Editor-in-Chief, in close cooperation with then Board of the Polish Society of Oncology, decided to deeply professionalise the publishing process of the magazine, entrusting the issues of typesetting and printing to ViaMedica.At that time the journal received a new graphical design.
