Protocols and Practice Guidelines

 

The Protocols webpage describes sites that contain information about various cancer treatment protocols and practice guidelines.

 

BC Cancer Agency Chemotherapy Protocols

The British Columbia Cancer Agency’s listing of chemotherapy protocols for Sarcoma treatment.  Each listed protocol gives detailed information regarding eligibility and testing for that protocol, dosing levels for pre-medications and chemotherapy agents, and dose modifications for various toxicities.

 

National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN)

NCCN, formed in 1995, is an alliance of leading cancer centers that, among other things, seeks to “advance the state of the art in cancer prevention, screening, diagnosis and treatment through excellence in basic and clinical research.”  The programs sponsored by NCCN include: (1) The NCCN Practice Guidelines in Oncology which are “the recognized standard reference for appropriate practice in the field of oncology” and (2) The NCCN Outcomes Database wherein it integrates its guideline development process with a   comprehensive data collection process “to measure the level of adherence of practice to NCCN Guidelines and the clinical outcomes that patients achieve at NCCN institutions.”  Click here to access NCCN’s complete list of Practice Guidelines. Note that there is a Practice Guideline for Sarcoma.  The NCCN  website also has detailed clinical trial information for its member institutions
