In 2000, in Prague, Czech Republic, the European Society of Oncology Pharmacy (ESOP) was established as a result of the actions undertaken by a group of European activists in oncology pharmacy who acknowledged the importance of continuous education, specialisation and knowledge exchange. Active contribution of oncology pharmacy professionals from 29 countries ensures the success of the society in achieving the initially stated aim of determining the optimal medical treatment for cancer patients, thereby improving the quality of their lives.
The European Journal of Oncology Pharmacy (EJOP) evolved from the electronic newsletter to its current print format with its first issue published in January 2007. Starting from 2010, EJOP is published quarterly, and distributed to ESOP members. EJOP is accessible via www.ejop.eu.
