He outlines the key aims of the Choosing Wisely Brazil oncology task force which were to firstly identify a list of cancer practices that are frequently used in the Brazilian health-care system that are considered low-value or harmful to patients. The second aim was to develop a top 10 cancer Choosing Wisely Brazil list that can be used by clinicians, patients and cancer system decision makers.

Dr Moraes highlights the importance to promoting high quality cancer care with affordable access to medication.

He concludes by looking towards future implementation plans for the Choosing Wisely guidelines in Brazil.
