The European Quality Assurance Scheme for Breast Cancer Services and its implementation: European Commission Initiative on Breast Cancer (ECIBC)
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women in the European Union and differences in mortality could be explained, at least partially, by inequalities in access and quality of health services. The European QA scheme defines a common set of quality and safety requirements for breast cancer services in Europe. It covers all areas relevant to the provision of care for breast cancer patients. The scheme contains 86 requirements covering screening, diagnosis, treatment (surgery, systemic treatment, and radiotherapy), rehabilitation, follow-up and palliative care. The components are in a testing phase. When all components are tested, improvements will be made and the QA scheme will be published for use by Member States.
