Treatment Practice Guidelines

American Society of Clinical Oncology
Guidelines address specific clinical situations (disease-oriented), or use of approved medical products, procedures, or tests (modality-oriented).

Definition from the National Comprehensive Cancer Network:

"Clinical practice guidelines are decision tools that are created by doctors to explain a disease and determine the best way to treat a patient, depending on their diagnosis, disease stage, and other factors, such as age. They help doctors make decisions, by explaining the pros and cons of each option."

National Comprehensive Cancer Network (Patient-Level)
NCCN Guidelines for Patients are meant to help patients with cancer talk with their physicians about the best treatment options for their disease. View NCCN guidelines for patients by cancer type.
National Guideline Clearinghouse
The NGC mission is to provide an accessible mechanism for obtaining objective, detailed information on clinical practice guidelines and to further their dissemination, implementation, and use. View guidelines by cancer type.
AHRQ Evidence-Based Cancer Reports
AHRQ Evidence-Based Practice Centers review relevant scientific literature on a wide spectrum of clinical topics to produce various types of evidence reports. The link takes you directly to evidence-based reports on cancer.

Searching PubMed Training Guide

PubMed is the most widely used database in our collection. Below is a PubMed training resource developed by the Baylor Health Sciences Library. Included in the guide are instructions on searching, filtering results, obtaining appropriate study types, and finding full-text.

For more help on finding high-level evidence in PubMed view our Searching PubMed page.
