Abstract
Two National Cancer Plans (2003–2007 and 2009–2013) have been launched in France to
organise the healthcare offer in order to enhance quality and safety. The current
Cancer Plan
1
defines regulatory frameworks across the three major areas of cancer therapy: surgery,
chemotherapy and radiotherapy. These regulatory frameworks are based on three pillars:
transversal requirements for the quality of care; establishment of minimal thresholds
for institutions and technical criteria that are required for each type of cancer
surgery. Based on adherence to these requirements and following a process of continuous
assessment, institutional accreditations (currently being allocated in 2010) will
be given for a period of 5 years.Keywords
