Abstract
The practice of evidence-based medicine (EBM) is very important in delivering optimal patient care and the terms evidence-based medicine, or evidence-based practice, are used all around the world. This chapter discusses evidence-based paediatric oncology, including its history, an outline of what EBM is, EBM in paediatric oncology, steps in evidence-based paediatric oncology for a user of EBM, steps in guideline development as an implementer of EBM, common criticisms of EBM, and the future of EBM. The chapter gives an overview how EBM can be used in a non-exhaustive but still comprehensive way in daily practice of care for children with cancer, and which tools are available for paediatric oncologists. The majority of the chapter focuses on how to learn to become a skilled user of EBM.
