PAPER OF THE WEEK: Predictions About Clinical Pathways
With our current issue of Evidence-Based Oncology™ focusing on clinical pathways in cancer care, we look back at one of our most-read papers of 2016.

With our current issue of Evidence-Based Oncology™ focusing on clinical pathways in cancer care, we look back at one of our most-read papers of 2016.

- Transparency in development, implementation, and evaluation
- More research on the effect of pathways
