Editorial & Clinical Sourcing Policy

At OncoGuides, our mission is to make evidence-based oncology, autoimmune, psychological, and veterinary health navigation transparent, compassionate, and 100% accessible to patients and caregivers worldwide.

1. Primary Clinical Sourcing Standards

Every clinical guide, biomarker explanation, and treatment overview on OncoGuides is grounded exclusively in peer-reviewed medical and veterinary consensus literature:

• Human Oncology: National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) Guidelines, American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO), and the National Cancer Institute (NCI).
• Autoimmune & Rheumatic: American College of Rheumatology (ACR), European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology (EULAR), and Crohn's & Colitis Foundation guidelines.
• Psycho-Oncology: NCCN Distress Management Standards, American Psychological Association (APA), and psycho-oncology clinical trials.
• Veterinary Oncology (Dogs & Cats): American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine (ACVIM) Consensus Statements, Veterinary Cancer Society (VCS) Guidelines, and the World Small Animal Veterinary Association (WSAVA).
• Scientific Citations: Direct indexing and linking to the National Library of Medicine (NCBI PubMed) with PMID and DOI verification.

2. Editorial Independence & Financial Separation

OncoGuides maintains strict clinical independence. We do not accept pharmaceutical advertising, hospital placement fees, or sponsored clinical writeups. Our charitable financial grant directories index verified 501(c)(3) and international registered non-profit organizations without commercial bias.

3. Continuous Review & Update Cadence

Medical guidelines evolve rapidly. All clinical disease overviews, biomarker databases, and grant directories undergo quarterly reviews and updates upon the publication of major practice guidelines or FDA/EMA approvals.

4. Editorial Corrections & Feedback

We welcome scrutiny from clinicians, researchers, patients, and healthcare advocates. To suggest an update or report an outdated citation or charity listing, contact our editorial team at [email protected].
