Book excerpt: Two Workshops were organised in order to inform and involve stakeholders about the task the JRC has been given of updating existing European Guidelines on Quality Assurance in Breast Cancer Screening and Diagnosis and, in parallel, to develop a quality assurance scheme for breast cancer services. Participants at both workshops, coming from different areas of competence and of interest (e.g. clinical experts, patients' associations, guidelines methodologists, policy makers, screening programme managers, etc), were asked to contribute with their own experience and knowledge and to provide input on project pillars and modalities to coordinated and optimise the direction of the project. This report not only includes the narration of the events, but also the main conclusions derived from a thorough discussion on the main aspects of the project and their impact on the planning of activities for meeting the requirements of the two tasks.

Book excerpt: In November 2012, the Joint Research Centre (JRC), which is the European Commission's (EC) in-house science service, was assigned by the Directorate General for Health and Consumers (DG SANCO) with the tasks of: i. Guidelines: a. to revise the European guidelines for quality assurance in breast cancer screening and diagnosis and develop the New European guidelines for breast cancer screening and diagnosis. Given the feed-back of stakeholders during the following meetings, this task had to be split, originating a second one: b. to establish a platform for high quality guidelines for stages of breast cancer care other than screening and diagnosis. ii. Quality assurance (QA) scheme: to establish a voluntary European QA scheme for breast cancer services based on the European legislative framework on accreditation (defined in Regulation (EC) No 765/2008). iii. Digital mammography training: to provide training to the professionals involved in breast cancer screening programmes. iv. A web-hub host for the initiative and its components. These tasks fall under the European Commission Initiative on Breast Cancer henceforth shortened to the ECIBC. Taking the view to develop the tasks in a coordinated, consensus-based and sustainable way, the JRC first embarked on setting up a series of targeted meetings with a wide range of stakeholders, experts and concerned authorities at the national level. This report is a summary of those meetings.

Book excerpt: The two main goals of the European Commission Initiative on Breast Cancer (ECIBC) are to develop the European guidelines for breast cancer screening and diagnosis (European Breast Guidelines) and the voluntary European Quality Assurance scheme for Breast Cancer Services (the European QA scheme). The present report describes the kick-off and the second meeting of the two working groups established within the initiative to develop the European Breast Guidelines and the European QA scheme: the Guidelines Development Group (GDG) and the Quality Assurance Scheme Development Group (QASDG), respectively. The two working groups were set up based on a Call for Expression of Interest organised by the Directorate-General for Health and Food Safety (DG SANTE). Thirty-four members for each working group were nominated in July 2015. The GDG includes individual citizens and patients, clinicians and methodology experts; the QASDG includes individual citizens and patients, clinicians and healthcare quality and safety experts. This is to ensure that a person-centred, while scientifically robust, process is followed for developing the European Breast Guidelines and the European QA scheme. The kick-off meetings were held at the Joint Research Centre (JRC) premises in Ispra (Italy), on 7-9 September, 2015 for the GDG and 9-11 September, 2015 for the QASDG. The second set of meetings were held in Baveno (Italy) on 9-11 December 2015, back-to-back with the ECIBC 2015 Plenary. The meetings were dedicated to the introduction to the ECIBC project, the definition of the groups' working modalities and the draft scope of the European Breast Guidelines and of the European QA scheme. The first recommendations from the European Breast Guidelines and the draft European QA scheme are expected to be available starting from 2017.

Book excerpt: The Joint Research Centre (JRC) coordinates the European Commission's Initiative on Breast Cancer (ECIBC). The ECBIC has two main tasks: 1) the development of a voluntary European quality assurance (QA) scheme for breast cancer services based on an EU legislative framework on accreditation covering all stages and aspects of care and 2) the set-up of the evidence base for such a QA scheme via (i) the development of the new European guidelines for breast cancer screening and diagnosis and (ii) a platform for evidence-based breast cancer guidelines covering stages other than screening and diagnosis (e.g. rehabilitation, follow-up, psychological support and palliative care). Preparation for the ECIBC included literature searches, stakeholder meetings and consensus building workshops and a European- wide survey to gather information on the status and organisation of breast cancer screening and care. This report is a summary of the meetings held in 2014.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background. The Joint Research Centre, the European Commission's in-house science service, was assigned with the task of developing a voluntary European Quality Assurance scheme for breast cancer services (the European QA scheme) based on the European legal framework on accreditation. This task, among others, are part of the European Commission Initiative on Breast Cancer (ECIBC). Methods. A search of external quality assessment schemes for breast cancer care already in place in Europe was carried out using different strategies in: MEDLINE, website of relevant scientific societies, and EC Reports. Only schemes fully implemented, with evidence of current activity, with at least one centre in Europe currently holding the certificate awarded by that organisation and foreseeing a third-party audit / on-site survey were considered. Results. Seventeen schemes specifically addressing breast cancer were identified in Europe and thirteen countries have at least one scheme in place.^For eight schemes the requirements and procedures were available in a language known to the JRC Healthcare Quality Team and were thus included in this research. The number of breast cancer services implementing such schemes goes from three to 277 with a median of 23. In some countries, more than one scheme is present, with a maximum of 4 schemes present in one country. Six schemes are managed by private entities and two by public organisations. All the schemes covered more than one stage of breast cancer care, with requirements for diagnosis included in all the schemes. Requirements are highly variable, as in the format, wording and organisation of these. However, they always included requirements related to the clinical management of breast cancer (or breast cancer diagnosis), as well as a list of organisational requirements and quality indicators. For all the schemes the awarding process includes a preparation phase, a site visit and a follow-up.^The duration of the award is usually 3 or 5 years. Conclusion. This research provides a collection of relevant features for the definition of the European QA scheme, both from a requirement definition point of view as well as for the organisation of the on-site visit and its follow-up. A European-wide scheme could help harmonise the situation in Europe and ensure that European citizens receive the same quality of care, at least for the essential aspects, regardless of where they live.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the most recent developments in oncologic breast surgery and takes full account of diagnostic, pathologic, and radiologic inputs. It is divided into three parts, the first of which discusses the premises underlying the modern surgical approach to breast cancer. The second part is devoted to what might be termed the conservative program, i.e., breast conservation and oncoplastic surgery, conservative mastectomy, and sentinel node biopsy and axillary dissection. The final part of the book covers different forms of surgery and other treatments in particular settings. Topics include plastic and reconstructive surgery, DCIS surgery, radio-guided surgery, adjuvant systemic therapy, intraoperative radiotherapy, and the role of surgery in locally advanced and metastatic disease. The detailed descriptions of techniques are accompanied by numerous high-quality illustrations. This book will be of value to both experienced practitioners and surgical trainees.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Developing or existing breast cancer centres strive to provide the highest quality care possible within their current financial and personnel resources. Although the basics in diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer are well known, providing, monitoring, and assessing the care offered can be challenging for most sites. Based on the work of the International Congress of Breast Disease Centres, this book provides a comprehensive overview of how to start or improve a breast unit wherever you live. Written by a multidisciplinary team of over 100 experts from 25 countries, it provides a practical guide for how to optimally organise high quality integrated breast cancer care, whilst taking into account the local economics and resources available to different countries. Each component of the care pathway, including imaging, surgery, systemic treatment, nursing, and genetic assessment, is discussed from a theoretical and practical aspect. The authors define targets to strive for, methods to assess care, and key recommendations for how to improve within existing limitations. Finally, the book looks beyond the breast care unit to consider accreditation and certification, emerging technologies, media, and the role of governments. This guide will be valuable for anyone working in the field of integrated breast cancer care, including established breast care experts, those new to the field, and policy makers interested in the social, financial, and political aspects of improving breast care quality.

This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2015, the European Commission Initiative on Breast Cancer (ECIBC) started the development of the European guidelines for breast cancer screening and diagnosis (henceforth the European Breast Guidelines) under the auspices of the Directorate-General for Health and Food Safety (DG SANTE) and the technical and scientific coordination of the Directorate-General Joint Research Centre (JRC). To support the JRC in this task, a Guidelines Development Group (GDG), consisting of independent experts and individuals, was established. The European Breast Guidelines’ scope (The Scope) represented the first output of the development process of the European Breast Guidelines. Via a public call for feedback, stakeholders and individual citizens were invited to provide their feedback on The Scope. The call for feedback was open from 18 December 2015 to 17 January 2016 and an online questionnaire was made available on the ECIBC web hub via the EU Survey platform. The JRC received a total of 82 valid responses, from 40 individuals from 18 different countries and from 42 organisations from 20 different countries. During a meeting held in Varese (Italy) in March 2016, the GDG discussed the new version of The Scope which was prepared taking into account the results of the call for feedback. The Scope was finalised and approved by the GDG after some minor editing on 6 September 2016 and was later made publicly available together with this report.

Book excerpt: The European Quality Assurance Scheme for Breast Cancer Services (the European QA scheme) has been established under the auspices of the European Commission Initiative on Breast Cancer (ECIBC) and defines a common set of quality and safety requirements for breast cancer services (BCSs) in Europe that should be followed by any entity providing BCSs to women. The European QA scheme is applicable to all healthcare services (including where a BCS entity is using outsourced services) covering the full extent of breast cancer management, from screening to follow-up and end-of-life care. Adopting the European QA scheme is voluntary: it is not mandatory for health services/BCSs to implement it. This manual intends to facilitate the process for piloting of the certification body audit process of BCSs for the European QA scheme and to provide guidance to certification bodies on: the requirements for BCSs and where the full details are documented, the audit processes that must be used for BCSs, how to report the results of the audits, who to report the audit to. After the certification pilot has been completed, the European QA scheme will be updated.

The present supplements to the fourth edition have been produced by the same groups of experts originally established under the Europe Against Cancer programme that have developed and updated the guidelines since the early 1990s. Over the years, the scope and the depth of the multidisciplinary guidelines have expanded, and recommendations and protocols have been updated to keep pace with developments in the field. The present supplements lay a cornerstone for a new, completely revised fifth edition of the guidelines."--Editor.

Book excerpt: The European Commission Initiative on Breast Cancer is proud to publish the Manual of the European Quality Assurance Scheme for Breast Cancer Services. This manual has been developed with the support of the Quality Assurance Scheme Development Group (QASDG), which includes professionals with a wide range of expertise, as well as patients. The experts were selected through a public open call, and QASDG members' conflicts of interest are assessed and managed accordingly. The European Quality Assurance (QA) scheme is a collection of requirements, based on evidence, that can be followed by any breast cancer service (BCS) wishing to improve the quality of care offered to women. The requirements are listed and described in this manual, which provides details on how the respective requirements must be met and describes the indicators to be used to verify quantitative requirements. The manual also provides guidance on how BCSs can demonstrate compliance with a given requirement. The scheme is designed to be implemented on a voluntary basis. Auditors will check the requirements both remotely and during on-site visits to the physical premises of a BCS. Services demonstrating that they fulfil the requirements will be awarded a certificate.

Book excerpt: The European Commission Initiative on Breast Cancer (ECIBC) Plenaries are an opportunity to inform representatives from the 28 EU Member States and 7 other countries participating in the ECIBC, as well as patients and other stakeholders, policymakers, and the scientific and health policy communities, about the aims, activities and achievements of the ECIBC. They also provide a platform for the exchange of ideas, feedback and input into the ECIBC. The 2016 ECIBC Plenary, entitled?When science and policy collaborate for health?, took place on 24-25 November in Varese, Italy. Its main focus was the implementation of both the voluntary European Quality Assurance scheme for Breast Cancer Services (European QA scheme) and the European guidelines for breast cancer screening and diagnosis (European Breast Guidelines). In this context, the first concrete results were presented, with the launch of the first four European Breast Guidelines recommendations on screening.
