Improving Outcomes in Haemato-Oncology Cancer (October 2003)
NICE has issued guidance on the organisation of healthcare for people with
haematological cancers (cancers of blood cells). It recommends which
healthcare professionals should be involved in treatment and care, and the facilities such as hospitals
best suited to provide that healthcare.
The key recommendations are:
People should be treated by a multidisciplinary team
A multidisciplinary team should include a clinical nurse specialist and a palliative care specialist
Each diagnosis of haematological cancer should be reviewed by experts
People with neck lumps should have rapid access to diagnostic services
Complex chemotherapy for acute leukaemia should be carried out by specialist teams
High-dose therapy and transplantation should be carried out in accredited centres
