Physicians in The US Oncology Network deliver high-quality cancer care based on the latest medical evidence.
Level I Pathways
The overall complexity of cancer and the accelerated development of new technologies and treatments for cancer patients demand constantly updated treatment guidelines.
Recognizing this, physicians affiliated with The US Oncology Network have developed a comprehensive program to provide physicians across the network with up-to-date, evidenced-based treatment guidelines for their patients. Teams of nationally recognized, disease-specific oncologists and cancer care experts develop and update these guidelines to ensure that the latest science and research discoveries can be incorporated into patient treatment plans.
Our Network Supports Evidence-Based Medicine by Design
We’ve created a culture that supports evidence-based medicine and includes extensive resources and broad capabilities to bring high-quality, advanced care to patients across America:
• Healthcare Informatics
IT solutions provide a platform to enable the application of evidence-based pathways across the nation, to benchmark pathways performance, to measure patient outcomes, and to facilitate ongoing peer review.
• US Oncology Research
Physicians participating in US Oncology Research can leverage the results of hundreds of completed and ongoing trials — meaning better insights into which drugs work best for which cancer types.
• Disease Committees
Our treatment pathways are determined by disease committees — groups of cancer-treatment specialists from The US Oncology Network.
Why Is Evidence-Based Medicine Good for Patients?
With evidence-based medicine guidelines, physicians can use proven treatment methods based on the best evidence available to develop patient-care strategies. These strategies are employed across The US Oncology Network, and Network physicians are continually evaluating research results and updating treatment guidelines. This means The Network practices give patients access to treatments proven to give them the best opportunity for positive outcomes.
