title: [Guidelines for quality assurance in bronchial carcinoma].
abstract: Quality management in lung cancer needs interdisciplinary cooperation among thoracic surgeons, pneumologists, oncologists and radiologists. This requires defined standards in the structure, process and outcome quality of the involved departments. The German Society for Thoracic Surgery has established a concept for internal and external quality assurance of operative treatment of lung cancer, according to the requirements for quality management developed by Selbmann. The future calls for the integration of nonoperative treatments in conjuction with relevant specializations.
