 The National Comprehensive Cancer Network
(NCCN) Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology™ is the
recognized standard for clinical policy in the oncology community.
These guidelines are updated at least annually in a consensus-driven
process with explicit review of the evidence by multidisciplinary
panels of expert physicians from NCCN member institutions. The
breadth and scope of this collaborative effort, which now covers
more than 95% of all cancers, represents a significant advance
beyond any previously developed guidelines. The NCCN guidelines
have become the most widely used in oncology practice. Treatment
recommendations are specific and are being implemented through
performance measurement. In addition, the NCCN guideline panels
address cancer detection; risk assessment and reduction; and
supportive care areas such as nausea and vomiting, distress management,
cancer-related fatigue, and cancer pain management.
