Working groups

Working groups are established by healthcare professionals to study in depth, define and exchange experiences on specific topics.
For the time being, five working groups have been established that have produced Clinical Recommendations for the main tumours (breast, colon, prostate, lung and gynaecological cancer).

Their objective is to produce guidelines to be shared by all oncology services in Tuscany, to keep guidelines updated and to identify possible research fields.
