Commission on Cancer

The Commission on Cancer (CoC) is a program of the American College of Surgeons that sets standards to evaluate and improve the quality of cancer care at hospitals. It accredits healthcare facilities that demonstrate comprehensive, multidisciplinary approaches to diagnosing and treating cancer patients. Hospitals meeting CoC standards undergo regular review to ensure they provide evidence-based, patient-centered care, and participate in quality improvement initiatives. This accreditation helps patients identify facilities committed to high-quality cancer treatment and promotes continuous advancements in cancer care practices.
