National Comprehensive Cancer Network

The National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) is an alliance of the world's leading cancer centers, including the UCSF Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Center. NCCN aims to provide people with cancer—and the general public—state-of-the-art cancer treatment information in easy-to-understand language. NCCN.com includes information on all facets of cancer, from prevention and screening through life after cancer.

NCCN publishes NCCN Guidelines for Patients: free guidelines to help patients when they talk to their doctor about treatment options.

Currently available are NCCN Guidelines for Patients on Breast Cancer, Melanoma, Multiple Myeloma, Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, Ovarian Cancer, and Prostate Cancer.
