Female Representation in Clinical Practice Guideline Panels in 2 Major Cancer Organizations

Over the last decade, the proportion of female panelists in NCCN CPGPs has doubled, with more than 50% of members of 60 CPGPs in 2020 being women. In ESMO, although there was an increase in female representation in a few CPGPs from 2010 to 2020, overall female representation remains low (<30%). By continuing to examine these trends, we can create awareness and work toward developing appropriate targeted interventions to improve gender disparities in the major organizations that create CPGs for cancer care.
