Abstract
Treatment of oncological patients must be based upon multidisciplinary approach, and takes place in specialized
oncological centers. By the end of a specifi c oncological treatment further follow-up is being managed mostly by the
oncologists, but the role of the general practitioners becomes more important every day and therefore should be precisely
defi ned. Nowadays, most of the existing follow-up guidelines are not being based on prospective studies, yet on the expert’s opinion of a precise oncological center or specialists. The aim of the Croatian Society of Medical Oncology (CSMO) with
these recommendations is to standardize and rationalize the diagnostic procedures’ algorithm in follow–up of oncological
patients after primary treatment, in patients with melanoma, sarcomas, central nerve system tumors and lung cancer
