Clinical Management Algorithms

Clinical management algorithms depict best practices for evaluating, diagnosing, and treating specific conditions that arise during the course of cancer treatment. These algorithms are not intended to replace the independent medical judgment of the physician in the context of individual clinical circumstances to determine a patient's care.
