A clinical practice guideline for breast cancer
A clinical practice guideline for breast cancer care is a set of recommendations to help women with breast cancer and their physicians deal with treatment issues about which there is some uncertainty. Guidelines try to resolve the uncertainty by a thorough review of all the medical evidence and extensive consultation with experts in the field.
A guideline is important for you,not just for your doctor
If you know what the experts are recommending for your condition and why they’re recommending it, then you’ll know what to expect and be able to make the best personal choices. As an active participant in your own care, you’ll know what’s going on and you’ll able to ask the right questions. If you don’t get the treatment you expect, you’ll be in a position to find out why. If you feel uncertain at any stage, don’t be afraid to get a second opinion.
