ASCO Patient Care Standards

The ASCO Patient Care Standards are guidelines developed by the American Society of Clinical Oncology to ensure high-quality cancer care for patients. These standards emphasize the importance of effective communication, coordinated care, and the involvement of patients in their treatment decisions. They aim to create a respectful and supportive environment where patients receive comprehensive information about their diagnosis, treatment options, and potential side effects. Overall, these standards are designed to enhance the quality of care and ensure that patients receive the best possible support throughout their cancer journey.
