In this episode of the Cancer Assist Podcast, Dr. Bill Evans sits down with Dr. Jonathan Sussman, Professor and Chair, Department of Oncology, McMaster University, Scientific Director, Program in Evidence-Based Care (PEBC), McMaster University, and Carolyn Zwaal, Managing Director of Program in Evidence-Based Care (PEBC), to unpack how evidence-based guidelines in cancer care are developed. From defining what “evidence” truly means, to exploring how systematic reviews and analyses shape clinical decisions, the conversation shines a light on the process behind cancer treatment recommendations. Listeners will hear how Ontario’s PEBC has produced over 500 guidelines, the global reach of this work, and the role of patients in shaping recommendations.
