NCCN Harmonized Guidelines™

NCCN Guidelines are used by clinicians around the world as a standard resource for clinical decision-making. The NCCN Harmonized Guidelines™ are targeted regional resources created as part of a collaborative effort to combat the skyrocketing cancer rates and unique circumstances of cancer care. They represent both the optimal care that resource-constrained areas aspire to provide and pragmatic approaches that could be used to improve the availability of effective treatment options.

Using the Harmonized Guidelines

Recommendations within the NCCN Harmonized Guidelines™ are represented as follows:

  • Black Text: Generally available standard of care
  • Gray Text: Highly advanced/optimal care that may be costly, technically challenging, and/or have a lesser impact on oncologic outcome
  • Italicized Blue Text: Regional options that may be considered when availability precludes general standard of care
  • Gray Text with Strikethrough: Indicates care options that are not feasible or available at this time
