Abstract

The article “Multidisciplinary meeting for breast cancer care: EUSOMA recommendations for optimization” raises methodological and interpretative concerns (1). The manuscript presents ‘EUSOMA recommendations’, yet according to the official EUSOMA breast centre certification register, fewer than 15% of the centres represented by the authors are EUSOMA-certified (2). Consequently, more than 85% of the recommendations originate from centres that have not undergone EUSOMA audit or certification. Author affiliation or expertise cannot be equated with EUSOMA-certified practice, creating a fundamental legitimacy gap.
