"JJCO Paper of the Year" established
The Foundation for Promotion of Cancer Research, the publisher of the Japanese Journal of Clinical Oncology, established the "JJCO Award: Paper of the Year" in 2004 to commend a high quality article published in the journal each year.
The selection process for volume 33 was as follows. (i) Among the original articles published in issues No.1 to No.12 of volume 33, Oxford University Press listed the top 20 papers with the highest number of internet downloads of their PDF version during the first 6 months after online publication. (ii) From these, the editorial secretariat, including the Editor-in-Chief, made a preliminary selection of five articles by vote, and proposed them for the award. (ii) The editorial board including 37 Associate Editors voted for final selection.
The vote took place in August 2004, and the following two papers gained exactly the same number of votes. The Foundation decided to award the prize (50 000 yen) to both papers.
- Ohtsu A, Boku N, Yoshioka T, Hyodo I, Shirao K, Shimada Y, Saitoh S, Nakamura A, Yamaichi N, Yamamoto S, Yoshida S. A phase II study of irinotecan in combination with 120-h infusion of 5-fluorouracil in patients with metastatic colorectal carcinoma: Japan Clinical Oncology Group Study (JCOG 9703). Jpn J Clin Oncol 2003;33:2832.

The first authors of these papers were invited to the JJCO Editorial Meeting held at Fukuoka on September 29, 2004, and received an official commendation (Fig. 1). They declared, with some delight, their intention to continue contributing to the advancement of clinical oncology and to the journal.
