With the first half of 2026 behind us, we recently reflected on the past three months of the year and all the valuable guidance we’ve seen published by North American and international societies across all medical specialties. Now, with six months still to go in 2026, we are taking a look ahead to some clinical guidelines and guidance that we anticipate will publish by the end of the year. 

The following list features two key specialties that we identified as having the largest grouping of anticipated publications: oncology and cardiology. Links are provided to current versions where appropriate. All provided dates are our best estimates.
