Comprehensive Cancer Centres (CCCs)

A Comprehensive Cancer Centre (CCC) is the hub within the Comprehensive Cancer Infrastructure (CCI) in each Member State.

The CCC takes into account cancer care in local and regional cancer centres (e.g. treatment close to home).

CCCs are structures certified in accordance with the criteria developed in the JA CraNE (which recognize OECI and DKH as CCC certification schemes).
