The European Commission Initiative on Breast Cancer

The European Commission Initiative on Breast Cancer (ECIBC) is a patient-centric project developed by the European Commission, aiming to improve and harmonize breast cancer care in Europe providing essential levels of quality care that are equally accessible across Europe.

The European quality assurance scheme defines a common set of both quality and safety requirements for breast cancer services wishing to improve the quality of care offered to women.

The scheme is designed to be implemented on a voluntary basis and covers all the relevant care processes from screening until end-of-life care.
