In CoC-accredited programs, cases seen at the facility should be reviewed by the primary site before being chosen for presentation at cancer conferences. This review ensures that the cases come from the major disease sites within the facility, with accurate data on pathology, staging, and treatment plans, so that conference discussions are meaningful and aligned with quality improvement goals. It also helps guarantee that the educational content reflects the center’s actual caseload and practice patterns. Therefore, review is required when the facility holds CoC accreditation, based on major sites within the facility. If a program isn’t CoC accredited, this specific standard doesn’t apply from CoC, though local policies may still require some review.
