NHS Evidence cancer updates
The latest updates from NHS Evidence are:
- Familial breast cancer (May 2012)
- Improving outcomes in head and neck cancers (May 2012)
In producing the Evidence Updates almost 4,000 pieces of evidence were identified. An Evidence Update Advisory Group, comprised of subject experts, has reviewed the prioritised evidence and provided a commentary.
By producing Evidence Updates, NHS Evidence seeks to reduce the need for individuals, managers and commissioners to search for new evidence and to inform guidance developers of new evidence in their field.
