On World Cancer Day 2026, the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN), an alliance of leading cancer centers in the United States, announced its commitment to annually update its free educational resources, the NCCN Guidelines for Patients. These guidelines, available in English and Spanish, provide evidence-based, expert consensus-driven information on cancer prevention, screening, diagnosis, treatment, and supportive care. Crystal S. Denlinger, CEO of NCCN, highlighted the importance of providing factual and trustworthy information to empower shared decision-making for patients and caregivers. The NCCN Foundation funds these resources, which were utilized by over 2.1 million people in 2025. Pat Delaney, Executive Director of the NCCN Foundation, emphasized the goal of making this knowledge accessible to a wider audience, including employers and community leaders. This initiative aims to keep pace with the rapidly evolving field of cancer care and ensure equitable access to quality information.
