Evidence-Based Medicine in Oncology

Evidence-Based Medicine (EBM) in oncology involves making cancer treatment decisions grounded in the best available scientific research. It combines clinical expertise with high-quality studies, such as clinical trials, and considers patient preferences and values. This approach ensures that treatments are effective, safe, and tailored to individual patients, rather than based solely on tradition or anecdote. EBM helps doctors choose interventions that have demonstrated benefits, reduces unnecessary or ineffective treatments, and aims to improve outcomes and quality of life for cancer patients through informed, transparent decision-making.
