Guidelines and Protocols
Updated 21 September 2011

These guidelines are being prepared according to the Advisory Committee format: brief, evidence-based and taking a proactive approach to the management of cancer as a chronic disease. Our first three guidelines - The Palliative Approach to Care, Pain & Symptom Management (seven in the set) and Grief & Bereavement - are published at BCGuidelines.ca .
