Evidence-Based Recommendations for Cancer Care
ASCO and ESMO Guidelines
The American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) and the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) develop evidence-based practice recommendations for various areas of cancer care. These guidelines aim to improve patient outcomes by providing clinicians with the latest scientific information.
Metastatic Colorectal Cancer Treatment
In the case of metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC), ASCO and ESMO emphasize the importance of tailoring treatment decisions to the available evidence. The NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology provide detailed recommendations for systemic therapy in mCRC, based on the most up-to-date research findings.
Gastrointestinal Cancer Guidelines
ESMO has also developed Clinical Practice Guidelines specifically for gastrointestinal cancers, including rectal cancer, biliary cancer, and gastric cancer. These guidelines offer guidance on screening, diagnosis, and treatment for each type of cancer.
Importance of Evidence-Based Care
By following evidence-based guidelines, healthcare professionals can ensure that patients receive the most appropriate and effective care for their specific cancer diagnosis. These guidelines contribute to better patient outcomes, improved quality of life, and reduced healthcare costs.
