Rising cancer incidence and increasing care complexity challenge the coordination of oncological services, particularly in structurally underserved regions. Patient pathways offer a means to translate clinical guidelines into structured, evaluable care processes, yet their application often requires regional adaptation. This paper presents a descriptive case study on the regional adaptation of guideline-based oncological patient pathways within an intersectoral cancer care network. Focusing on pancreatic, colorectal, and oesophageal cancer, the study examines how adapted pathways and an intersectoral tumour board support cross-sectoral coordination. A multi-level evaluation framework is introduced to assess pathway conformance, stakeholder perspectives, and feasibility, while positioning the pathway as a foundation for future digital monitoring of patient journeys.

Guidelines for Writing Outcome
Patient outcomes reflect the patient's response to the goal rather than what the nurse aims to achieve. Terminology should be observable and measurable to avoid the reader's interpretation. The desired outcome should be realistic and achievable in the designated care timeframe. Expected outcomes should align with adjunctive therapies. The outcome should enhance care evaluation by...
