ESMO Open, vol. 5, pp. e001130

Abstract

ESMO clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) have been developed to provide recommendations for the standard of care according to the highest quality evidence-based data (EBD). European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) is also conducting consensus conference (CC) activities to provide answers to crucial questions of clinical relevance, which are then formulated as recommendations.
