Radiotherapy • Models for Radiotherapy Rates: • What the models are • Network data for models • Breast, lung, head and neck rates • Remodelling Prostate • Other • Network Cancer Incidence Numbers • Fractionation
Breast staging across Scotland Different methods of data collection by networks: not specific for these models
Breast Model based on Lothian data Total patients receiving XRT = 3354 = 80% PTS NEED RT Actual XRT utilisation in SCAN 2006 = 69% (low grade DCIS +WLE not currently treated)
Breast Model based on Grampian data Total patients receiving XRT = 2632 = 63% ORR. Actual XRT utilisation Grampian 2007= 57%
Breast Grampian 63% v 57% SCAN 79% v 69% Lung SCAN 64.2(50%) v 40 Head and Neck 83%v70% Prostate 61 (28%) Other where queries in optimal rates due to British practice Oesophagus 10% Stomach 5% Pancreas 5% Melanoma 5% Optimal v Actual Radiotherapy Rates
Future Needs The number of radiotherapy courses per 1,000 cancers is a good indicator of access to radiotherapy. The range varied from 308 to 823 with an average of 562 radiotherapy courses per 1,000 cancers.
