NCCN Guidelines for Patients®

NCCN Guidelines for Patients®: an educational tool for patients and oncology professionals

As a clinician who utilizes the NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology (NCCN Guidelines®), you recognize the NCCN Guidelines® to be the most comprehensive and most frequently updated clinical practice guidelines available. This information is invaluable not only to you as a clinician, but also to the patients whom you treat every day.

NCCN recognizes that your patients benefit daily from your utilization of the NCCN Guidelines and have created patient-friendly versions to provide state of the art cancer treatment information in easy-to-understand language. The NCCN Guidelines for Patients®, translations of the NCCN Guidelines, are meant to help patients with cancer speak with you, their treating oncologist, about their best treatment options.

We sincerely hope that you will refer your patients and their families to the NCCN Guidelines for Patients®, as well as utilize them as a complementary tool in your practice to support consultations and meetings with your patients and their caregivers.
