[Standards, options and diagnostic and therapeutic recommendations in oncology. Fédération Nationale des Centres de Lutte contre le Cancer].

From 1992 onwards, the various French institutions working on cancerology launched a program for establishing standards and options in view of assisting practitioners. The program is basically oriented towards diagnostics and care, but economic, social or ethical aspects are not neglected. A first edition of the recommended standards and options was published in 1995 on paper and CD-ROM. Dissemination through Internet is planned.
