More more info visit www.newsinfusion.com A new survey found most women don’t understand the importance of accreditation in breast cancer treatment centers. Surprisingly, new research from the American College of Surgeons found two-thirds of women (66%) admit they were not aware or did not know if breast cancer treatment centers and facilities can be accredited. However, where women choose to get breast cancer treatment can impact the care they receive, and ultimately the results they achieve. To be “accredited,” breast cancer centers must follow a comprehensive and consistent set of standards for treatment based on medical guidelines and evidence. They must also support patients’ social and emotional needs. Accredited centers are screened by the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers, a program of the American College of Surgeons and advised by leading patient groups and professional medical societies.
