In today’s issue you will find a study on such an important topic as the introduction of the DILO card in cancer patients. Authors from the University Hospital in Olsztyn discuss the importance of implementing a prompt diagnostic and therapeutic pathway for patients with colorectal cancer. The above article is a practical compendium on the DILO card in a patient with colorectal cancer. As already known, the DILO card serves as a referral enabling treatment initiation as part of prompt anticancer therapy. After both an initial and, then, an extended cancer diagnosis, each case of colorectal cancer is discussed at a multidisciplinary case conference, which is of key importance for selecting an appropriate treatment strategy. The authors also point out the most common shortcomings and errors in completing the documentation.
