The development of standardized protocols involves a comprehensive review of the existing literature, clinical trials, and expert opinions. Organizations like the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN), American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), and others play a pivotal role in creating these guidelines. The process usually includes several stages, such as drafting, peer review, public comments, and final approval. These protocols are regularly updated to incorporate new research findings and advancements in cancer treatment.
