NCCN Guidelines Navigator for Breast Cancer Genetic Testing and Treatment Debuts During Breast Cancer Awareness Month

The National Comprehensive Cancer Network expands interactive library of evidence-based, expert consensus-driven cancer care guidance to now cover treatment for more than a dozen cancer types, along with hereditary risk assessment, featuring seamless integration with additional resources.

PLYMOUTH MEETING, Pa., Oct. 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, the National Comprehensive Cancer Network^® (NCCN^®)—a nonprofit responsible for globally utilized guidelines for cancer care—is sharing new NCCN Guidelines Navigator™ resources for breast cancer treatment as well as genetic/familial high-risk assessment, during Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Since launching with three digitized versions of NCCN's benchmark evidence-based clinical practice guidelines earlier this year, NCCN has quickly expanded availability to more than a dozen topics. The interactive format makes recommendations easier to navigate and search and links directly to other NCCN digital resources.

"The NCCN Guidelines Navigator enables health care providers to quickly find and understand the best available evidence-based options for treating each individual person," said Crystal S. Denlinger, MD, Chief Executive Officer, NCCN. "The intuitive flow in the NCCN Guidelines Navigator supports easier treatment decision-making based on the latest evidence and expert-consensus. We are pleased to be able to honor Breast Cancer Awareness Month by making some of our most widely used guidelines available in multiple formats, ultimately leading to better outcomes for people facing cancer and their loved ones."

Features and Expanding Availability

The NCCN Guidelines Navigator™ features content from the NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology (NCCN Guidelines^®)—the most frequently-updated clinical practice guidelines available in any area of medicine. NCCN Guidelines^® cover everything from cancer prevention, to screening, diagnosis, treatment, survivorship, and supportive care. The new format incorporates seamless movement, advanced search and filter capabilities, color-coded navigation links, and other digital enhancements.

The entire library of NCCN Guidelines will eventually be accessible in both the current PDF format as well as the new, digitized versions. Currently, the NCCN Guidelines Navigator™ is available for the following cancer types and topics:

• B-Cell Lymphomas
• Bladder Cancer
• Breast Cancer
• Colon Cancer
• Genetic/Familial High Risk Assessment: Breast, Ovarian, Pancreatic, and Prostate
• Head and Neck Cancers
• Hepatocellular Carcinoma
• Kidney Cancer
• Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
• Ovarian Cancer/Fallopian Tube Cancer/Primary Peritoneal Cancer
• Prostate Cancer
• Rectal Cancer
• Uterine Neoplasms

"The NCCN Guidelines were accessed more than 16 million times in the last calendar year overall—with the breast cancer treatment guidelines accounting for about 10 percent of that total," said William J. Gradishar, MD, Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center at Northwestern University, Chair of the NCCN Guidelines Panel for Breast Cancer. "Breast cancer prevention, screening, and management is based on complex and rapidly evolving information, impacting millions of people worldwide. We've seen survival rates improve dramatically thanks to scientific advances that help health care providers match the right approach to the right person. The new NCCN Guidelines Navigator format allows us to integrate different resources for improving care into one hub for clinical guidance, patient/caregiver empowerment, and professional development."

Seamless Integration and Future Enhancements

The NCCN Guidelines Navigator™ integrates NCCN Chemotherapy Order Templates (NCCN Templates^®) smoothly into point-of-care in order to improve the safety and convenience of drugs and biologics usage. The NCCN Templates^® standardize patient care, reduce medication errors, and help providers to anticipate and manage treatment-related adverse events.

Additionally, people who access the NCCN Guidelines in any format, including via the NCCN Guidelines Navigator™, can earn CE/MOC credits in real time with an NCCN Guidelines in Practice™ subscription.

The NCCN Guidelines Navigator™ also provides easy access to the NCCN Guidelines for Patients^®, which present the information from the clinical guidelines in lay person-centered terms with a glossary and pictures to aid in patient education and shared decision making.

In the months since the initial beta testing launch, the NCCN Guidelines Navigator™ has been accessed more than 50,000 times and received highly positive feedback. According to a survey response: "The NCCN Guidelines Navigator does a great job of making the existing NCCN Guideline searchable and accessible. The search function quickly suggests relevant sections of the guideline, along with footnotes, references, and regimen information."

NCCN Guidelines Navigator for Breast Cancer Genetic Testing and Treatment Debuts During Breast Cancer Awareness Month

NCCN Guidelines Navigator for Breast Cancer Genetic Testing and Treatment Debuts During Breast Cancer Awareness Month

• New framework brings together Aon's Risk Capital and Human Capital data with public sentiment analysis from Gallup to create a portfolio view of risk
• Creates further clarity into how risks compound across four megatrends, how resilience is built and activated and where targeted actions can most effectively influence performance

DUBLIN, Jan. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Aon plc (NYSE: AON), a leading global professional services firm, announced today that it is releasing insights from a new, data-driven tool to help organizations build sustainable resilience and unlock growth: Aon's Resilience Quotient.

Developed in collaboration with Gallup, Aon's Resilience Quotient responds to a critical insight: in a time of increasing populism and fragmented sources of information, quantitative data alone is not enough to make long-term decisions. Combining public sentiment on global issues with risk and people data and analytics enables greater clarity and confidence to invest and grow amidst uncertainty and volatility.

By integrating Aon's proprietary Risk Capital and Human Capital analytics with the results of Gallup's World Poll covering 140 countries for more than 20 years, the firm's Resilience Quotient captures both objective conditions and subjective sentiment, revealing where sentiment signals hidden risks and potential opportunities to achieve greater resilience. This system-level view enables leaders to spot emerging risks sooner, prioritize resilience investments and move from reactive risk management to proactive decision-making.

"When making decisions around investment, workforce or managing geopolitical risk, a portfolio view is far superior to a siloed perspective," said Greg Case, president and CEO of Aon. "Understanding sentiment can be an opportunity signal or an early warning. Leaders who are limited to only some of the relevant metrics risk missing the signals that matter most. Aon's Resilience Quotient delivers an integrated view to help organizations act decisively, strengthen resilience and unlock sustainable growth."

Four interconnected megatrends – Trade, Technology, Weather and Workforce – are reshaping the global operating environment in ways that traditional models struggle to anticipate. Aon's Resilience Quotient provides a clearer view of the tradeoffs within these interactions: how trade volatility can amplify technology risk, how climate pressures influence workforce mobility and how sentiment can either reinforce resilience or heighten operational risk, even when the fundamentals appear strong.   

To illustrate the insights from its Resilience Quotient, the firm published three case studies addressing some of the most relevant and urgent issues facing the 2026 global economy:

• Realizing the Opportunity of AI: Securing Data Center Growth
  Data centers are the backbone of the digital economy and with nearly $1.3 trillion projected to be invested globally in data centers by 2030, their rapid expansion brings unprecedented risks. Aon's Resilience Quotient shows that resilience varies sharply at the sub-national level, often more than underlying risk. Within the U.S., Iowa emerges as the most resilient destination for data center development, combining very low overall risk with exceptionally strong trade and weather resilience.

  "Aon's Resilience Quotient shows that Iowa's resilience–risk balance is roughly twice the national median, demonstrating how governance quality, institutional confidence and preparedness materially shape long-term infrastructure outcomes," said Joe Peiser, CEO of Commercial Risk Solutions at Aon. "This underscores the opportunity for leaders who understand the combined effect of low risk, resilient trade and weather systems and a strong foundation of public trust — factors that ultimately determine where AI infrastructure can grow at scale."

• Workforce Transformation: AI Adoption and the Next Generation Workforce 
  The acceleration of AI adoption is transforming the workforce, but most organizations face a critical gap between the demand for AI skills and their readiness to adapt. The Resilience Quotient highlights how workforce engagement, trust and institutional preparedness are essential to harnessing AI's potential, making resilience the key differentiator between organizations that thrive through change and those that risk falling behind.

  "Aon's Resilience Quotient equips leaders to navigate rapid AI change with confidence," said Lisa Stevens, chief administrative officer at Aon. "These insights help create the conditions for early‑career employees to build the skills and confidence they need — so instead of losing a generation of talent, we cultivate one that is more capable and resilient than ever."

• Rethinking Humanitarian Finance: A New Approach to Forced Migration
  Over 120 million people are currently displaced by conflict, climate and systemic crises, reshaping societies and economies worldwide. Aon's Resilience Quotient highlights Venezuela and Colombia to illustrate the tradeoffs between investing resources at the source of migration — supporting those facing institutional erosion, food insecurity and economic collapse — or directing investment to more stable countries like Colombia that are absorbing people fleeing unlivable conditions.

  "Forced displacement results from extreme weather and man-made disasters like conflict and economic failure," said Bridget Gainer, chief public affairs officer at Aon. "If we could leverage the forecasting and financial capability of insurance to better predict and more quickly mitigate the impact of this volatility, we could help create conditions that allow populations to remain and rebuild in their home countries."

"Resilience is not a single blueprint, it's the way systems mitigate, adapt and transform under pressure. Aon's Resilience Quotient functions as a pressure gauge, surfacing the trade‑offs and early signals that help leaders strengthen resilience where it matters most," said Joe Daly, managing partner at Gallup. "We're proud to collaborate with Aon to combine Gallup's global sentiment analytics with Aon's Risk Capital and Human Capital data, turning confidence into actionable insight."

New insights from Aon's Resilience Quotient suggest that going forward, resilience priorities will shift from static risk management to dynamic, localized strategies. As disruptions become more complex and frequent, organizations will need to tailor resilience investments to specific geographies, sectors and even sub-regional contexts. Aon's Resilience Quotient is supported with a real-time analytics and AI-enabled insights platform, built by Quantum Rise, providing deeper visibility into evolving risk and resilience signals as conditions change.

Aon and Gallup will join global decision-makers at the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting to advance these critical discussions on restoring confidence and unlocking sustainable growth.
