Breast cancer is the most common malignant disease among women in Germany. There are more than 50,000 new cases of breast cancer diagnosed each year in the country. As breast cancer is a complex disease it necessitates an interdisciplinary treatment, therefore it is very likely that patients with breast cancer will benefit from treatment in special centers, either a "breast cancer centre" or "tumor centre". In recent years certifying programs for the above mentioned centers have been introduced, which guarantee standards of the quality of treatment for breast cancer all over the country. In this article we report on the development and role of tumor centers in oncology healthcare in Germany, which nowadays have a very good international reputation. Moreover, they may be a good example to other countries to found similar centers in order to improve standards of the management in oncology healthcare.
乳腺癌是德国女性中最常见的恶性疾病。该国每年有超过50000例新诊断的乳腺癌病例。由于乳腺癌是一种复杂的疾病，需要进行多学科治疗，因此乳腺癌患者很有可能从特殊中心的治疗中受益，这些中心可以是“乳腺癌中心”或“肿瘤中心”。近年来，针对上述中心引入了认证项目，这些项目保证了全国乳腺癌治疗的质量标准。在本文中，我们报告了德国肿瘤中心在肿瘤医疗保健中的发展和作用，如今这些中心在国际上享有很高的声誉。此外，它们可能是其他国家建立类似中心以提高肿瘤医疗保健管理标准的一个很好的范例。
