Abstract:
In 2008, the German Guidelines Program in Oncology (GGPO) was launched to promote the development and updating of evidence-based multidisciplinary practice guidelines. This paper describes the organizational structures and methods as well as the embeddedness of the program within a comprehensive strategy to enhance quality of cancer care.

It is illustrated what was achieved in the first seven years of the GGPO and which challenges will dominate the next years.
