Since 1994 the German Radiooncological Society has established a special commission for quality assurance in radiation oncology. The working agenda covers guidelines for dosimetry, infrastructure and organisation of a radiooncological department. The efforts are in close cooperation with the quality assurance programs of the EORTC. Corresponding guidelines are being published. They can be applied to create a quality assurance system in a radiooncological department. They are not considered definitive and are still receptive to benefit from further modifications.
