Details of the regions and countries in the UK that submitted data to the 2000/01 BASO breast audit
Women included in the BASO audit • In 2000/2001 • 79% invasive • 1% micro-invasive • 19% non-invasive • 54 cancers (1%) had unknown status * data from Scotland not available
Pre-operative diagnosis rates Minimum Standard > 70% Target > 90% * data from Scotland not available
Pre-operative diagnosis rates for invasive and non-invasive cancers For invasive cancers 10/13 regions meet the 90% target
Pre-operative diagnosis rates for individual screening units Only 2 units fail to meet the minimum standard
Pre-operative diagnosis technique 52% MOB C4/B4 16% MOB no pre-operative procedure
Invasive status at pre-operative core biopsy Selective use of core biopsy with micro-calcification?
Benign and malignant open biopsy rates * data from Scotland not available
Highest pre-operative result for malignant open biopsies High C4/B4 High C1/B1
Lymph node status Nodal status should be obtained for all invasive cancers It is desirable to examine a minimum of 4 lymph nodes * data from Scotland and N Ireland not available
Nodal status unknown for invasive cancers in individual screening units 26 -180 invasive cancers
11-17% nodal status unknown Regional variation in nodal status determination in 2000/01 8.4% with <4 nodes examined
Nodal status of invasive cancers diagnosed on the basis of <4 nodes Up to 7.5% of cancers may have had inadequate nodal assessment
Nodal status where <4 nodes examined for individual units 22 - 87 invasive cancers
Surgical caseload Women should be treated by a specialist breast surgeon
9 low caseload surgeons 6 low caseload surgeons Number of surgeons treating less than 10 screening cases a year
Type of surgical treatment provided to non-invasive and invasive breast cancers
highest % conservation surgery Treatment for non-invasive and micro-invasive cancers
Non-invasive cancer nuclear grade unknown for individual units 13 and 22 cancers 12 cancers
Non-invasive cancer size unknown for individual units 19 cancers 12 cancers
high % mastectomy for small tumours high % mastectomy for small tumours Variation in mastectomy rates with invasive tumour size low % mastectomy for larger tumours
19 16 10 21 1 1 Treatment of small cancers with invasive diameter <15mm
low mastectomy rate for invasive tumours Final treatment for cancers with 2 or more operations low mastectomy rate for non-invasive tumours
Which journeys were undertaken? How long did it take to get there? The patient journey ? What combinations of treatments were given?
Cases included in the analysis highest proportion of cases included Coding error correct value 93% - Wales excluded from analyses
Cancers included in patient journey analysis 3147 Surgery Surgery Surgery Surgery Surgery Other 1033 (33%) RT CT RT CT 61 (2%) 77 (2%) 1521 (49%) RT CT* 382 (12%) 35 (1%) * includes CT and RT started on same day The most common patient journeys Total cancers detected between 1st April and 30th September 2000 5011 Journeys exclude variations in hormone therapy
Regional variations in the patient journey High surgery only, low CT High CT
Non-invasive cases Invasive cases Treatment patterns for non-invasive and invasive cases Higher proportion of invasive tumours receive HT
Times to first treatment and from first treatment to adjuvant therapy
N Ireland 95% S East E 39% Time to first surgery 4941 cases
Wales and Trent 85% Yorkshire 44% Time from surgery to radiotherapy Cases with no S or CT before RT excluded 1931 cases
London 52% South West 4% London, S East E >10% started CT on same day as or before surgery Time from surgery to chemotherapy Cases with no S or RT before CT excluded 603 cases
? Does ER status influence the use of hormone treatment? ? Does nodal status influence the use of adjuvant radiotherapy in women having conservative surgery? ? Does nodal status influence the use of adjuvant radiotherapy in women having mastectomy? ? Does nodal status influence the use of adjuvant chemotherapy? ? Do women with node negative, ER negative tumours receive adjuvant chemotherapy? Questions about treatment
45% unknown Only 11% unknown Proportion of cases with unknown ER status
Non-invasive 60% Invasive 12% Invasive and non-invasive cases with unknown ER status 39% invasive cases ER status unknown
ER+ve 92% 12% or more not given HT ER-ve 31% 45% unknown ER status Hormone therapy - invasive tumours 63% ER-ve given HT
Conservatively treated invasive cancers with +ve nodes receiving RT 58% all cancers treated with surgery alone
node +ve 93% node -ve 85% Effect of nodal status on conservatively treated invasive cancers receiving RT Nodal status has little influence on treatment choice
Cancers with +ve nodes treated with mastectomy and radiotherapy 100% given RT Only 50% given RT
node +ve 68% node -ve 16% Effect of nodal status on invasive cancers treated with mastectomy receiving RT 45% given RT Nodal status does influence treatment choice 0
less than 50% given CT node +ve 61% node -ve 9% Effect of nodal status on treatment with chemotherapy 32% all cancers treated with chemotherapy
ER -ve, node -ve tumours treated with chemotherapy In 1992-96 15% tumours were grade III 75% given CT 17% given CT
