Evidence-based clinical practice guidelines, guides and recommendations are designed to assist decision making and guide best practice in the management of cancer.
These guidelines and guides are based on the best evidence available at the time of publication and are a guide to appropriate practice, to be followed subject to the clinician’s judgement and the person’s preference in each individual case. As new evidence becomes available, existing resources may be updated or topic-specific updates may be developed to act as supplements to existing documents.
