EANO considers the preparation of multidisciplinary guidelines as a prime task to support the development of high quality care of brain tumor patients across Europe. The decision to generate or update a guideline is made by the EANO Executive Board. The chairman for a task force is nominated by the EANO president. The composition of the task force is agreed upon between the chairman of a task force and the EANO Board and should reflect the multidisciplinary and multinational composition of EANO.
The EANO Board requests that colleagues who hold any stock options related to a guideline topic refrain from participating in guideline preparation.
