The library of NCCN Guidelines for Patients includes more than

easy-to-understand information about prevention, screening,
diagnosis, treatment, and supportive care for nearly every type of

that inform cancer care treatment decisions worldwide.
The NCCN Guidelines for Patients are available to view or
download for free online at NCCN.org/patientguidelines or via the
NCCN Patient Guides for Cancer App, thanks to funding from the NCCN
Foundation®. Printed versions are available for

"High-quality patient-centered care can only be achieved when
patients and caregivers are properly informed about their options,"
said Crystal S. Denlinger, MD,
Chief Executive Officer, NCCN. "We are incredibly proud of the
work we do to provide understandable, trustworthy, up-to-date
information based on the highest possible standards of research and
multidisciplinary subject matter expertise. The growing list of
awards for the NCCN Guidelines for Patients and NCCN Patient
Webinars recognize the skill and care our patient information team
puts into everything they do."
The Hermes Creative Awards are administered and judged by the
Association of Marketing and Communication Professionals
(AMCP). 2024 saw more than 6,500 entries worldwide across 200
categories. The 30th Annual Communicator Awards were overseen by
the Academy of Interactive and Visual Arts (AIVA). There were more
than 3,000 entries this year vying for recognition in various
communication and design categories.
The NCCN Guidelines for Patients have previously earned Digital
Health Awards, an APEX Award, and an Excellence in Cancer Patient
Education Award. Independent studies have listed them among top
global sources for trustworthy online information about cancer.
"These resources put expert-vetted cancer-related information in
the hands of people with, or at risk of, cancer everywhere," said
Patrick Delaney, Executive
Director, NCCN Foundation. "We work diligently to ensure our
patient guidelines are accessible to the millions of people who
utilize them around the world. They have been translated into
numerous languages, and include a glossary of terms, pictures and
diagrams, and suggested questions to ask. Our webinars present the
same information in a way that is more accessible to people who
prefer interactive discussion and video. It is a tremendous honor
to see our various efforts be recognized in this way."
NCCN's free patient and caregiver webinars cover a variety of
cancer-related topics in multiple languages—through funding from
the NCCN Foundation. The NCCN Webinar for Patients: Early-Stage
Prostate Cancer was also a Digital Health Gold award recipient last
year.
