Referral Guidelines for Suspected Cancer

This booklet provides an overview of the guidance issued by NICE to the NHS in England and Wales. The booklet, published in 2015, is divided into three sections.

This guideline covers identifying children, young people and adults with symptoms that could be caused by cancer. It outlines appropriate investigations in primary care, and selection of people to refer for a specialist opinion. It aims to help people understand what to expect if they have symptoms that may suggest cancer.

Treatment Guidelines

• Guidelines on Renal Cell Carcinoma, European Association of Urology (EAU), 2017
  The EAU Guideline Group for renal cell carcinoma (RCC) have prepared these guidelines to help urologists assess the evidence-based management of RCC and to help them incorporate the guidelines’ recommendations into their clinical practice.
• Map of Medicine Health Guides; Kidney Cancer – Suspected, Kidney Cancer – Management and Kidney Cancer – Specialist Investigations. These three Map of Medicine Health Guides for kidney cancer, describe the diagnosis, staging and management of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) in adults over the age of 18 across both primary and secondary care settings. There are maps for the treatment options for both localised and metastatic disease, surveillance issues following radical surgery for RCC and discussion of the management of transitional cell carcinoma.
