CONCLUSIONS: Although tamoxifen has been the gold standard of HT for breast cancer, results of ongoing trials assessing the newer HTs as initial, neoadjuvant, adjuvant, and chemopreventive therapies may substantially change our current clinical practice patterns [1].

High impact information on Physician's Practice Patterns

This most recent analysis of patients enrolled in the NCGS provides a framework for examining the impact of this new indication for GH on clinical practice patterns [2].
Emergency physician practice patterns regarding initial steroid route of administration and dose, and outpatient-dosing regimens are variable [3].
A multispecialty group at Luther Midelfort, Mayo Health System (LM, MHS) initiated efforts to reduce variance in the clinical practice patterns of providers [4].
