The Centre François Baclesse has been accredited as a "Comprehensive Cancer Centre" by the Organization of European Cancer Institutes (OECI), becoming the 5th French cancer center to obtain this label of excellence.
This recognition of quality is reserved for multidisciplinary oncology care institutions integrating care, research and training.
Only institutions with a significant range of medical and technical expertise, including clinical and translational research, are eligible for accreditation as a Comprehensive Cancer Center. The François Baclesse Center is recognized for both the excellence and quality of patient care at every stage of the treatment process and its access to innovation.
This European accreditation, obtained for 5 years, is the fruit of a continuous improvement process that is an integral part of the François Baclesse Hospital Project. It gives the Centre international visibility, which should facilitate the development of new research projects and new interactions, for the benefit of patients.
