ESMO organ-specific checklists for oncologists at point of care

The ESMO Community Oncologists Task Force has developed the ESMO Checklists, a set of cancer patient management workflow templates for oncologists at the point of care.

Derived from the ESMO Clinical Practice Guidelines, this hands-on self-assessment tool helps oncologists to easily check that the essential steps recommended in the ESMO Guidelines have been taken in daily practice.

The checklists can be used during patient visits, while reviewing their medical records, for preparing discussions at multidisciplinary tumour board meetings, to check adherence to the ESMO Guidelines.

The organ-specific checklists guide oncologists through the stages for diagnosis and treatment of specific cancer types.

The general checklist contains recommendations that should always be considered when visiting a cancer patient, regardless of the tumour type.
