Abstract

In 2014, Geneva University Hospital has opened the first certified prostate cancer Center of western Switzerland. It incorporates 29 entities implicated in the diagnosis and treatment of this disease, thereby assuring that all available ressources are made available to patients, regardless of the division to which they were initially referred. The main strength of the Center lies in the synergy generated by its multidisciplinary tumor board. Furthermore, regular conferences, staff meetings, propectively held registers and the yearly re-certification audit support its constant quality improvement.
