Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background: The objective of this survey was to collect information from the countries involved in the European Commission initiative on breast cancer (the 28 Member States, plus Iceland and Norway) regarding the organisation of breast cancer services and other aspects of interest for the initiative (e.g. screening programmes, training requirements for professionals, quality and safety aspects, quality assurance schemes, etc.). Methods: The survey included a questionnaire and a data protection form distributed by e-mail, the participants were nominated upon request of Directorate-General for Health and Consumers via respective health attaches. Results: Twenty-five out of 30 contacted countries responded, corresponding to a response rate of 83%. Conclusions: Healthcare systems are diverse across Europe; different quality assurance schemes for breast cancer care are in place for less than 50% of the countries. A European-wide, harmonised, evidence-based and flexible scheme is needed to grant equal and quality benchmarked treatment to patients.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This contributed volume addresses the link between the social environment and cancer in Europe. The authors document the wide range and diverse trends in cancer incidence and patient survival in Europe, and they identify the main mechanisms and key influences that underlie these inequalities. They suggest a series of actions and programmes to tackle these inequalities in Europe, within the conceptual framework of intervention research. The influence of the social environment on the risk of suffering and dying from cancer is obviously a global phenomenon, as evidenced by a growing number of studies and books. In part, the underlying mechanisms are universal. Given the availability of a new standardised measure for social deprivation in Europe (the European Deprivation Index), the networking of population-based cancer registries across Europe as efficient surveillance tools, the increasing comparability of the organisation of care in European countries, and the recent launch of Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan, this extensive review of social inequalities in cancer on a European scale is both relevant and timely. The book consists of 21 chapters organised in four sections: Part I – General Considerations and Methodologic Aspects Part II – Social Disparities in Cancer Incidence and Survival – Reports Part III – Social Disparities in Cancer Incidence and Survival – Mechanisms Part IV – Towards an Evidence-Based Policy for Tackling Social Inequalities in Cancer Social Environment and Cancer in Europe: Towards an Evidence-Based Public Health Policy is a unique resource that presents up-to-date methods for analysing quantitative data. It focusses on inequalities in cancer incidence and survival within the wider framework of inequalities in health. This book will be an essential reference for policy-makers, researchers, public health professionals, social scientists and oncologists.

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: 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 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.

Book excerpt: Background: The objective of this survey was to collect information from the National Accreditation Bodies in collaboration with European Cooperation for Accreditation on the accreditation status of the countries. Methods: The survey included two questionnaires and a data protection form distributed by e-mail. The participants were the members of EA. Results: Twenty-five out of 35 contacted countries responded, corresponding to a response rate of 71%. The most applied standard resulted to be ISO 15189 and the most covered stage of care diagnosis. Conclusions: Accreditation status is diverse across Europe; some countries don't harbor accredited/certified organisations on breast cancer care, and others use different standards in different stages of care. A harmonisation in quality benchmarking would enhance equality in patients' care.

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.
