I think what is special about the development of patient guides is that they translate the sometimes complicated and very comprehensive NCCN Guideline for Survivorship Care into a format that is accessible and readily usable for our patients. These guides are designed to assist patients throughout their cancer journey. They highlight specific issues that are particularly relevant to cancer survivors, such as fatigue and neuropathy, and provide evidence-based suggestions.Download the new NCCN guidelines for survivors
