FORT WASHINGTON, PA — The National Comprehensive Cancer Network® (NCCN®) has published a preliminary version of the NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology (NCCN Guidelines®) for Global Resource Stratification™: Cervical Cancer; these NCCN Guidelines® are optimized to account for variability in available clinical treatment resources.
NCCN Guidelines are used widely around the world, including in a number of regions with low- to mid-level resources. The goal of NCCN Guidelines for Global Resource Stratification™ is to identify appropriate treatment at four resource levels and deliver a tool for health care providers to select optimal care for their resource setting. These Guidelines build a rational approach for transition between resource levels with the goal of providing the highest attainable level of care.
The four levels of resources include:
NCCN develops and maintains 61 NCCN Guidelines, as well as more than 70 international adaptations and translations in 13 languages that allow for consideration of biologic differences in populations, local accessibility, and regulatory status of regimens used in specific global regions.
NCCN Guidelines for Global Resource Stratification™: Breast and Hepatobiliary Cancers will be published later this year.
