The National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) developed cancer treatment guidelines. These guidelines, created by expert panels, cover 93% of tumors to improve patient outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Clinical Practice Guidelines

Background:

  • The National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) initiated a project in 1995 to create diagnostic and treatment algorithms for various cancers.
  • Currently, 28 NCCN guideline panels have established guidelines, addressing approximately 93% of all tumor types.
  • Nine additional panels are actively developing new guidelines.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the infrastructure and development process of NCCN guidelines.
  • To highlight the formal procedures ensuring high-quality cancer care recommendations.

Main Methods:

  • The NCCN guideline development process involves 17 NCCN member institutions.
  • A formal procedure is followed for guideline creation and updates.
  • Expert consensus and evidence-based approaches inform the recommendations.
