BREAST UNITS

Gold Standards in European Cancer Care

Following the European Breast Cancer Conference in Florence in 1998, a working party was established to consider what should comprise a Europe-wide, high quality, specialist breast service.

"Requirements of a specialist breast unit" represents EUSOMA's opinion on the standards for forming high quality breast cancer units across Europe.

Many factors were taken into consideration in forming these guidelines, including the size of the unit, the core team, the facilities at the unit, the services offered by the unit and much more.

We hope that the resulting gold standards in breast cancer care will lead to improvement in the diagnosis, treatment and care of women with breast cancer throughout Europe.
