"Clinicians look to NCCN Guidelines to be current and responsive to the ever-evolving evidence. We pride ourselves that the NCCN Guidelines are the most frequently-updated clinical practice guidelines in any area of medicine," said Crystal S. Denlinger, MD, Chief Executive Officer, NCCN. "With 91 different guidelines presenting the very latest in evidence-based, expert consensus-driven recommendations for treating nearly every type of cancer, plus prevention, screening, supportive care, and specific populations, there are updates every single week, and often most days of the week, across all our clinical content and products. While we have always had a subscription service providing daily clinical content updates across our entire library of derivative products, we want those treating patients with cancer and impacted by cancer at the point of care to be aware of content changes in our guidelines that impact treatment recommendations and outcomes. This service makes it easier than ever to keep up with any practice-changing updates."

"The NCCN Guidelines are used worldwide in the oncology field, with more than 18 million downloads in the past year, and users of the guidelines span the entire spectrum from patients, caregivers, providers, payors and health information system development teams," said Renuka Iyer, MD, Chief Medical Officer, NCCN. "Our goal is rapid and timely access to the best care while helping busy practitioners stay up to date on evolving evidence. This helps ensure optimal patient outcomes by proactively getting the updates in the hands of those who need it. These updates include information regarding additions/updates to the NCCN Guidelines for Patients® to empower informed, patient-centered, shared decision making that leads to the best possible outcomes."
