Märkisches colon cancer center again awarded the highest certification!

The Märkische Color Cancer Center in Lüdenscheid has again received the award from the German Cancer Society (DKG). Prof. Dr. Christopher Kelm, Clinic Director of the Clinic for General, Visceral and Special Visceral Surgery, emphasizes that this recertification takes place every three years and includes a detailed examination by external experts from the DKG. This rigorous review evaluates, among other things, the interdisciplinary cooperation, the qualifications of employees and compliance with the current guidelines in diagnostics and therapy. The goal of the center remains the treatment of patients with colon cancer at the highest medical level.

In order to achieve this goal, the Märkisches Colon Cancer Center guarantees a holistic and individually coordinated supply. Life experiences and the latest technologies play a crucial role here, since specialists from different fields are closely combined in order to achieve the best results for cancer patients. This type of cooperation corresponds to the standards for which the DKG is known and which are considered the gold standard in cancer. The DKG is a leading organization that ensures the highest quality standards and continuously improves patient care in oncological centers.

certification system of the DKG

The DKG has developed a certification system that aims to ensure high -quality care oncological patients. This means that treatment is made possible according to high quality standards in every phase of the disease. Studies show that care in certified centers leads to survival advantages for those affected, since postoperative complications occur less frequently and physical function after treatment is often better. The seal of approval of the DKG thus represents a valuable orientation aid for patients and their relatives who are looking for suitable treatment facilities.

certified centers have to prove annually in an audit that they meet the necessary technical requirements for the treatment of specific tumor diseases. These requirements are summarized in so -called survey arches, which are developed and regularly updated by interdisciplinary commissions. The required guidelines form the basis for determining these quality indicators and help to ensure the quality of medical care.

meaning of the guidelines in oncology

guidelines play a central role in the DKG certification system, since it provide evidence -based recommendations for the treatment of specific health problems. The guideline program oncology is funded in cooperation with the AWMF, DKG and DKH to ensure practical approaches to treat cancer. These guidelines not only promote the quality and transparency in medical care, but also contribute to ensuring a quality -checked treatment chain for cancer patients.

The DKG has been awarding certifications at cancer centers since 2003 that offer high standards in diagnostics and therapy. Using the Oncomap platform, patients and relatives can easily find certified centers according to various criteria. This development shows the commitment of the DKG to continuously improve the oncological treatment facilities and at the same time create a secure framework for patient care.
