Versorgungsqualität in zertifizierten Brustkrebszentren - Konzepte, Ergebnisse, Unterschiede

Since 2003 breast cancer centers in Germany can be certified according to the requirements of the German Cancer Society (DKG)/German Society for Senology (DGS) and the State of North Rhine-Westphalia. The 260 certified centers (as of February 2014) treat over 60,000 newly-diagnosed patients annually. Since the introduction of breast cancer centers, the quality of care has improved, for example in terms of survival and the psycho-oncological care.
