The NCCN guideline program--1998
Oncology (Williston Park).
1998 Nov.
Abstract
In 1995, the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) embarked on an ambitious project to develop comprehensive diagnostic and treatment algorithms for the broad spectrum of oncologic diseases and support modalities. To date, 28 NCCN guideline panels have developed guidelines covering an estimated 93% of tumors, and an additional 9 panels have guidelines under development. This article reviews the NCCN guideline infrastructure and development process. The process relies on the expertise of the 17 NCCN member institutions and follows a formal procedure for guideline development to ensure that the recommendations offer the cancer patient the best chance for a successful outcome.
