[CANCER PATIENTS FOLLOW-UP – CROATIAN SOCIETY OF MEDICAL ONCOLOGY CLINICAL GUIDELINES Part I: breast cancer, uterine cancer, cervical cancer, ovarian cancer].

Treatment of oncological patients must be based upon multidisciplinary approach, and takes place in specialized oncological centers. By the end of a specific oncological treatment further follow-up is managed mostly by the ­oncologists, but the role of the general practitioners becomes more important every day and therefore should be precisely defined. Nowadays, most of the existing follow-up guidelines are not based on prospective studies, but on the experts ­opinion of a particular oncological center or specialists. The aim of the Croatian Society of Medical Oncology (CSMO) with these recommendations is to standardise and rationalise the diagnostic procedures algorithm in the follow-up of oncological patients after primary treatment.
