Critères de qualité de la radiothérapie

Quality in radiation oncology requires the creation, organization and daily management of a quality program. Rapid and important improvements are observed in this field, requiring human and financial investments. Radiation protection of personnel and public must take into account the existing regulation texts. The experience feedback committee (Comité de retour d'expérience, Crex) contributes to these regular and important improvements. Its formalization in each radiation oncology department is now unavoidable in terms of safety-management system. The cost of quality assurance must be taken into account in radiation treatment valorization, which seems to be still difficult.
