The major objective of the Swedish Council on Technology Assessment in Health Care (SBU in its Swedish abbreviation) Chemotherapy Project was to review and assess the evidence, as presented in the scienti c literature, for the use of chemotherapy in some major tumour types. The purpose of this assessment was to establish the current evidence-based role of this treatment modality in various settings in these tumour types. The basis for the assessment was the perspective of the conditions in Swedish health care and a prospective survey within the project detailed the use of chemotherapy in two health-care regions in Sweden. This formed the basis for an assessment of the use of chemotherapy in relation to scienti c evidence. The project focused on standard cytotoxic chemotherapy, whether delivered at conventional doses or at higher doses with various supportive actions, and did not address the role of other emerging approaches that could broadly be included under the heading chemotherapy, e.g. drugs with anti-angiogenesis and anti-metastatic properties or chemopreventive drugs. In this introduction, the project objectives, working process, key de nitions and general aspects on cancer trial methodology and interpretation are presented and discussed.

The importance of clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) for the quality and development of supportive care in Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries

Supportive Care in Cancer

Supportive care CPGs are intended to improve the quality of supportive care received by cancer patients. They hold potential benefits for health-care professionals, health-care organizations and patients. In order to provide an effective influence of CPGs on supportive care development in CEE countries their validity and successful implementation in clinical practice must be ensured. This would involve several important steps: (1) achievement of a consensus across Europe about what constitutes supportive care in cancer; (2) identification of supportive care priorities in CEE countries to be covered by the guidelines; and (3) searching existing CPGs relevant to previously identified priorities. Valid international CPGs could then be translated and adapted to local resources and circumstances in CEE countries and used to prepare national supportive care CPGs which could assist in the development of national supportive care standards. Skills, expertise and additional investment are required for local adaptation, dissemination and implementation of international supportive care CPGs.

“…The exercise broke new ground, as there was no previous ‘working model’ of national service guidance in the UK. The guidance development process was rigorous and utilised systematic evidence reviews together with the careful involvement of expert opinion (Haward, 1998; Haward and Sheldon, 1999; Haward and Eastwood, 2001). These were complex reports to produce and the supporting evidence reviews are substantial pieces of work.…”
