Cancer Surgery Standards Program

Helping you meet the highest standards of oncologic surgery and care

Cancer Surgery Standards Program

Cancer Surgery Standards Program Overview

The Cancer Surgery Standards Program (CSSP) is dedicated to improving the quality of care for cancer surgery patients. The CSSP achieves better quality patient care by educating surgeons on the technical conduct of oncologic surgery and setting standards for surgical care. We aim to standardize operative documentation to accurately reflect oncologically-critical standards by developing protocols for cancer surgery.

Governance

The objectives of the CSSP are carried out through its committees: Education, Standards Development, and Surgical Information Transformation.

Operative Standards Toolkit

The Operative Standards Toolkit assists with implementation of the 6 CoC Operative Standards in the Optimal Resources for Cancer Care.

Cancer Programs News

In each issue, you’ll find the latest news and updates from all ACS Cancer Programs, including the CoC, NAPBC, NAPRC, NCDB, AJCC, ACS CRP, and CSSP.
