Résumé

Reporting and learning are key components of quality and safety in radiotherapy. Each event must be reported to national authorities if considered significant according to national criteria. Lessons learnt from analysis of causal factors are primordial to decrease the risk of reoccurrence or the severity of further events. Thanks to national or international, mandatory or voluntary incidents reporting systems, and experience feedbacks, various sources of learning are available to improve risk management. This article aims to compare the regulations about mandatory declarations of significant events and describe national or international incident reporting and learning systems available.
