To determine (1) Canadian oncologists' attitudes toward practice guidelines, (2) oncologists' self-reported use of practice guidelines and, (3) physicians' characteristics and attitudes associated with self-reported use of practice guidelines. ⋯ Canadian oncologists were quite positive about practice guidelines and reported using them frequently. Our results suggest that use of guidelines by oncologists may be related to attitudes about guidelines in general, specialty within oncology and country of medical school training.
