摘要

Two Workshops were organised in order to inform and involve stakeholders about the task the JRC has been given of updating existing European Guidelines on Quality Assurance in Breast Cancer Screening and Diagnosis and, in parallel, to develop a quality assurance scheme for breast cancer services. Participants at both workshops, coming from different areas of competence and of interest (e.g. clinical experts, patients' associations, guidelines methodologists, policy makers, screening programme managers, etc), were asked to contribute with their own experience and knowledge and to provide input on project pillars and modalities to coordinated and optimise the direction of the project. This report not only includes the narration of the events, but also the main conclusions derived from a thorough discussion on the main aspects of the project and their impact on the planning of activities for meeting the requirements of the two tasks.
