Breast Cancer: State of the Union

• What has changed?

• What will change ?

3

Breast Cancer in Canada

• Most common malignancy affecting womenin 2002 in Canada 20,500 diagnosed 5,400 died

• Incidence rates have leveled over last 10 years

• Mortality rates have dropped by 25% in last 20 years

4

Preventive Oncology: Key changes in the last 5

years• Increased demand for and utilization of genetic services for assessment of hereditary predisposition

• Increased evidence to support risk reduction interventions in patients with hereditary predisposition to breast cancer

• Chemoprevention of breast cancer ?Research vs. standard of care

• Clarification of Breast Cancer Risk Factors e.g. HRT

• Development of a provincial cancer prevention strategy “Cancer 2020”

5

Preventive Oncology: What can we expect in the next 5 years?

6

MRI Screening in Canada

• Currently being performed in a few large centres and a few private clinics

10

Surgical Oncology: What can we expect in the next 5

years?• Increased emphasis on neoadjuvant treatments• Greater reliance on imaging (MRI as standard?)• Greater multidisciplinary care

More resources/patient Better coordination of services/streamlining of appts

needed• Consumer demand for patient-focused services• The challenge of maintaining referral base

Patient navigation Admin support Efficient triage and follow-up services

11

Pathology: Key changes in the last 5 years

screen detected breast lesions Difficult to assess borderline lesions

# of non-palpable breast lesions More volume to process

• Development of new biological markers and their adoption as standard of care Impact on HR, pathology & lab budget

• Pathology has become an integral part of clinical multidisciplinary teams (HR)

• Pathology is a key player in breast cancer research (HR)

12

Pathology : What can we expect in the next 5 years?

volume

discovery of new biological markers, both as prognostic and predictive markers

Ductal Carcinoma in Situ• Increasing incidence• Increasing evidence of benefit of XRT• Increasing concerns of under treatment and potential over

treatment

14

Radiation Oncology : What can we expect in the next 5 years?

• Early Stage Breast Cancer Partial breast irradiation (external beam/brachytherapy/IORT) Image guidance and Adaptive Radiotherapy Is bolus necessary?

• Locally Advanced Breast Cancer Combined modality therapy Increased intensity of treatment with reduced treatment time Imaging for the evaluation of treatment response (US, PET, MRI)

Executive SummaryThe Problem

• Lack of coordination of care

• Gaps in communication between health care providers

• Lack of psycho-social support with the shock of the diagnosis

• Lack of information: Feeling “numb and dumb” at time of critical treatment decision-making

• Provider knowledge “Many participants expressed

disappointment with the breast cancer knowledge of their primary care providers”
