A core component of NCCN's mission is to improve and facilitate equitable cancer care. Inclusion and representation of diverse populations are essential toward this goal of equity. Within NCCN's professional content, inclusivity increases the likelihood that clinicians are prepared to provide optimal oncology care to all patients; within NCCN's patient-facing content, it helps ensure that cancer information is relevant and accessible for all individuals. This article describes changes that have been made in the language and images used in the NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology (NCCN Guidelines) and the NCCN Guidelines for Patients to promote justice, respect, and inclusion for all patients with cancer. The goals are to use language that is person-first, nonstigmatizing, inclusive of individuals of all sexual orientations and gender identities, and anti-racist, anti-classist, anti-misogynist, anti-ageist, anti-ableist, and anti-fat-biased. NCCN also seeks to incorporate multifaceted diversity in images and illustrations. NCCN is committed to continued and expanding efforts to ensure its publications are inclusive, respectful, and trustworthy, and that they advance just, equitable, high-quality, and effective cancer care for all.
NCCN使命的一个核心组成部分是改善并促进公平的癌症护理。纳入并代表不同人群对于实现公平这一目标至关重要。在NCCN的专业内容中，包容性提高了临床医生为所有患者提供最佳肿瘤护理的可能性；在NCCN面向患者的内容中，它有助于确保癌症信息对所有个体都是相关且可获取的。本文描述了《NCCN肿瘤临床实践指南》（NCCN指南）和《NCCN患者指南》中在语言和图像方面所做的更改，以促进对所有癌症患者的公正、尊重和包容。目标是使用以人为本、无歧视性、包容所有性取向和性别认同个体的语言，以及反种族主义、反阶级主义、反厌女症、反年龄歧视、反残障歧视和反肥胖偏见的语言。NCCN还力求在图像和插图中纳入多方面的多样性。NCCN致力于持续并扩大努力，以确保其出版物具有包容性、尊重性和可信度，并推进为所有人提供公正、公平、高质量和有效的癌症护理。
