A member asked:
Is there a global protocol that all breast cancer doctors should follow regarding treatments and timescales?

Yes, it depends: In us, we do have different guidelines that we use - from the nccn guidelines, the asco guidelines that we use nationally- to the multiple different cancer pathways used regionally/locally. Discuss with your oncologist.

Standards of care: In medicine we call these"global protocols" standards of care. So there are standards that doctors will follow bear in mind that these standards are often modified or tailored to meet the need of specific patients.
