DALLAS — The National Comprehensive Cancer Network® (NCCN), comprised of several of the world’s leading cancer treatment centers, recently announced that printed versions of its NCCN Guidelines for Patients® are now available through Amazon.com, the mesothelioma law firm of Baron and Budd reports. These guidelines offer information to help cancer patients discuss their disease with physicians so they have the clearest possible picture of potential treatment options.

One of the NCCN Guidelines for Patients® available on Amazon.comincludes the NCCN Patient Guidelines for Mesothelioma®. Baron and Budd sponsored the writing, printing and distribution of the publication.
The NCCN has helped physicians nationwide develop treatment schedules tailored to the individual needs of their patients. The organization plans to make NCCN Guidelines for Patients® for additional forms of cancer available through the website in the coming months. The NCCN Guidelines® are developed by experts from NCCN Member Institutions, featuring algorithms addressing specific disease management options from initial work-up to treatment and surveillance. The NCCN Guidelines for Patients® are easy-to-understand translations of the guidelines that help better inform cancer patients who wish to speak with their doctors regarding different methods of treatment.
“This is an extremely significant step on the part of the NCCN because it will further empower cancer patients so they can be as well educated as possible regarding the strategies that will be used to fight their disease,” said Russell Budd, co-founder and shareholder of the mesothelioma law firm of Baron and Budd. “We are honored to support the continued efforts of the NCCN to help improve the quality of these patients’ lives.” Budd is a past member of the NCCN Foundation Board, the philanthropic arm of the organization.
