CoC (Commission on Cancer)

The Commission on Cancer (CoC) is a quality improvement program established by the American College of Surgeons. It focuses on ensuring that cancer care facilities meet specific standards for patient care. CoC-accredited centers must provide comprehensive, patient-centered services, including prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up care. The CoC also emphasizes the importance of data collection and analysis to enhance cancer treatment outcomes. By promoting high standards in cancer care, the CoC helps optimize treatment protocols, improve patient experiences, and ultimately, save lives.
