Incidence of Breast Cancer
• Far most frequent cancer in female• Still considerable mortality
• Belgium > 7000 new cancers each year
• Public health question Quality in diagnosis, treatment and
quality of life does matter!!!!
![Page 3: Why do we need Breast Clinics?](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56814316550346895daf6da7/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
The ‘Quality Concept’
• “I recognise it when I see it”
• What constitutes ‘quality’?• How can we measure ‘quality’?• How can we improve ‘quality’?

Eusoma Objectives for Breast Units
• To make available for all women in Europe a high quality specialist Breast Service
• To define standards for such a service
• To recommend that a means of accreditation and audit of Breast Units be established in order that units providing this service would be recognisable to patients and to purchasers as being of high quality

Eusoma Accreditation of Breast UnitsBasic Criteria• A single integrated Unit
• Sufficient cases to allow effective working and continuing expertise
• Care by breast specialists in all the required disciplines
• Working in multidisciplinarity in all areas
• Providing all necessary services: genetics, prevention, diagnosis, treatment, advanced disease and palliation
• Patient support
• Data collection and Audit

Eusoma Accreditation of Breast UnitsBasic CriteriaA single integrated Unit
• Single geografical entity?
– Allow multidisciplinary working– The same MDT– The same protocols– MD case management meetings– Single dataset– Audited as one Unit
![Page 9: Why do we need Breast Clinics?](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56814316550346895daf6da7/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Eusoma Accreditation of Breast UnitsBasic CriteriaSufficient cases to allow effective working
and continuing expertise
• Case load 150 newly diagnosed patients/year
• ‘Surgeon’: 30 operations / year
![Page 10: Why do we need Breast Clinics?](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56814316550346895daf6da7/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Type of Hospital
• Teaching vs Non-Teaching Hospitals– Survival: odds ratio 1.46; p= 0.0009
Bassnet; Eur J Cancer 1992
– BCS in 72 vs 65%– RT after BCS in 82 vs 73 %
Ruhee Chaudhry, CMAJ 2001
• Participation in Clinical Trials and survival
![Page 11: Why do we need Breast Clinics?](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56814316550346895daf6da7/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Case load • >< 30 new BC procedures/y: Survival RR: 0.85
< 10% have > 150 new cases/year1/3 have < 25 new cases/year
• 60% ‘multidisciplinary breast clinics’: 2/week – 1/year
Sainsbury; Lancet 1995 Harries; The breast 1997
• Training and Experience – Completeness of excision of NPL: p=0.0001
experience: 20 operations during study period
– BCT vs Mastectomy: p=0.0003 (Dixon; Brit J Surg 1996)
– Learning curve (Sentinel node procedure!)
Full Therapeutic options - Multidisciplinarity

on cases and evaluate their own activity

Eusoma Accreditation of Breast UnitsR.W.Blamey and L. CataliottiEur J Cancer, July 2006
• Need faced by patients and referring doctors
• Genuine claims to designate oneselves specialist units
• Need for a process of accreditation
• Voluntary ( EUREF Accreditation also voluntary!)
