Best Clinical Practice Gynaecological Cancer Guidelines 2009
SummaryGynaecological Oncology Clinical Practice Guidelines were originally published in 2004 after many years of meetings involving gynaecological oncologists, radiation oncologists, medical oncologists, gynaecological pathologists, palliative medicine consultants, and nurse oncologists from New South Wales, Queensland, Tasmania and New Zealand. In addition to the disease sites, there are chapters on Pathology and Clinical Issues which includes clinical trials, familial aspects of gynaecological cancer, lymphoedema, palliative care, psychosocial care and vaginal stenosis. The guidelines are intended to be evidence-based wherever possible, but are not intended to be prescriptive. It is acknowledged that there is more than one approach to most clinical scenarios, but it is hoped that these guidelines, resulting as they do from many years of multidisciplinary cooperation, will bring some uniformity of approach, particularly with respect to radiation fields and doses, and chemotherapeutic protocols. It is also hoped that they may form the basis for collaborative research between institutions, particularly in relation to the less common tumours.
