The National Comprehensive Cancer Network® (NCCN) recently presented new guidelines for breast cancer and non-small cell lung cancer.

The NCCN Clinical Practice GuidelinesTM aim to provide state-of-the-art cancer treatment information in easy-to-understand language. These guidelines do not replace the expertise and clinical judgment of a physician; but instead, provide a foundation for patients to use when talking with healthcare professionals about cancer and potential treatment options.

The NCCN is a not-for-profit alliance of 21 of the world's leading cancer centers dedicated to improving the quality and effectiveness of cancer care. MPLN uses NCCN guidelines to deliver evidence-based testing algorithms that make a difference in patient care.
