摘要

Certified cancer centres have been a cornerstone of quality-assured oncology care in Germany for over two decades. Initially introduced for breast cancer, the certification model now covers nearly all tumour entities. With current hospital reform and the implementation of service groups, certification faces new challenges and opportunities, and its role is being redefined. The existing criteria require reassessment, especially in terms of administrative burden, financial sustainability, and adaptability to regional healthcare structures. Collaborative care models and tiered certification systems could help to maintain nationwide access to high-quality cancer care. However, adequate financial compensation for the additional workload remains essential. Certification will only remain a key element of cancer care if it is not only demanded but also structurally and economically supported.
