ESMO guidelines

This page will be a gathering place for the European Society of Medical Oncology (ESMO) guidelines that do not clearly fit under a disease-specific page.

Given the rapid change in evidence in many areas of hematology/oncology, readers are encouraged to consider any guideline published 5+ years ago to be for historical purposes, only.
