Abstract: One way in which biomedical research can be put into practice is 
through clinical guidelines, which are increasingly used to help doctors 
choose the most effective treatment for their patients. There has been a 
substantially increased interest in them recently, and in the UK there are 
three series. In cancer, there are 43 guidelines published to date, each 
of which has an evidence base in the form of references, many of which are 
papers in peer-reviewed journals. These have all been identified and 
analysed to determine their geographical provenance and type of research, 
in comparison with oncology research overall published in the peak years 
of guideline references (1999-2001). UK papers, as expected, were over-
cited by a factor of nearly three: the cited papers acknowledged much more 
explicit funding from all sectors than did UK cancer research papers at 
the same research level. The references can also be used to identify 
cities in other countries whose research has influenced British cancer 
care.
