New Evidence updates - outcome in head & neck cancer / familial breast cancer

New style Evidence Updates from NHS Evidence help health and social care professionals keep up-to-date with new research, and support them in making evidence-based decisions in a focused and time-efficient manner.  

While Evidence Updates do not replace current accredited guidance they do highlight new evidence that might generate a future change in practice.
