Clinical practice guidelines serve as a guide for doctors and outline appropriate methods of treatment and care. Guidelines can address specific clinical situations (disease-oriented) or use of approved medical products, procedures, or tests (modality-oriented). Using the best available evidence, ASCO expert panels identify and develop practice recommendations for specific areas of cancer care that would benefit from the availability of practice guidelines. The criteria for selecting topics for guidelines or technology assessments includes significance of clinical or economic importance; presence of variations in patterns of, or access to care; availability of suitable data; and ethical considerations.

ASCO Clinical Guidelines Anthology: Abridged Guidelines and Related Clinical Tools from the Journal of Oncology Practice (Print)
Provisional Clinical Opinion:
A PCO is intended to offer timely clinical direction to the ASCO membership following the publication or presentation of potentially practice-changing data from major studies. It may serve in some cases as interim direction to the membership pending the development or updating of an ASCO clinical practice guideline.
Guideline Related Resources:
Links to other resources and organizations that develop and disseminate clinical practice guidelines and technology assessments.
Clinical Evidence Review:
A systematic review of existing literature on topics of interest to the oncology community. These reviews address topical areas associated with clinical uncertainly and likely practice variation, but for which there are insufficient data to inform practice recommendations.
Development Process:
A description of the process by which a guideline/ technology assessment is developed.
Guideline Clinical Tools and Resources:
View all the guideline clinical tools, summaries, summary slide sets, and patient guidelines. They are grouped by disease site.
ASCO Guideline Endorsements:
In 2006, the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Board of Directors (BOD) approved a policy and a set of procedures for endorsing clinical practice guidelines that have been developed by other professional organizations.
