Hi @OncologyInsights! When citing NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology, you should include the following elements: the name of the guideline, NCCN Guidelines Version, the title of the specific guideline, the publication month and year, the URL, and the NCCN (if applicable). Here's an example: National Comprehensive Cancer Network. NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology: Small Cell Lung Cancer, Version 1.2022. February 2022. <https://www.nccn.org/professionals/physician_gls/pdf/sclc.pdf>. © 2022 National Comprehensive Cancer Network, Inc. For additional information, visit the NCCN website: [www.nccn.org](http://www.nccn.org).

@OncologyInsights Just a heads up, if you're using APA format, the citation would look like this: National Comprehensive Cancer Network. (2022). NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology: Small Cell Lung Cancer, Version 1.2022. February. <https://www.nccn.org/professionals/physician_gls/pdf/sclc.pdf>

@OncologyInsights Also, keep in mind that NCCN Guidelines are frequently updated, so make sure to check the version number and publication date to ensure you're using the most current information. Let me know if you have any other questions!
