The commission is a consortium of professional organizations dedicated to reducing occurrences of and deaths from cancer through education, and by setting standards for and monitoring quality, multidisciplinary, patient care. Eighty percent of those diagnosed with cancer each year are diagnosed and treated at commission-approved programs. Cancer programs, like those at UCSF, voluntarily participate in the commission’s Approvals Program and meet 36 standards of quality patient care. The result is that UCSF is among a select group of institutions that have achieved the highest level of accreditation. Our patients can be assured of: a multi-specialty, comprehensive, team approach to coordinating the best treatment options; treatment with state-of-the-art services and equipment; access to the latest clinical trials; and the best cancer-related information, education, and support services.</p> </div> <hr> <div class="accreditation"> <div class="image-left"><a href="http://www.nccn.com" target="new"> <article class="align-center media media--type-image media--view-mode-default" style="width:400px; height:202px; margin:5px; float:left"> <div class="field field-media-image field--type-image field--label-visually_hidden"> <div class="field__label visually-hidden">Image</div> <div class="field__item"> <img loading="lazy" src="/sites/cancer.ucsf.edu/files/styles/sf_large_width/public/2022-12/NCCN-logo-2022.png?itok=ijH-Rqiu" width="400" height="202" alt="NCCN logo" typeof="foaf:Image" class="image-style-sf-large-width"> </div> </div> </article> </a></div> <h2>National Comprehensive Cancer Network</h2> <p>UCSF is a member of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network, an alliance of the world’s leading cancer centers.
