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.

Book excerpt: "The fourth edition of the European guidelines for quality assurance in breast cancer screening and diagnosis was published by the European Commission in 2006. 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The benefits of a screening programme for breast cancer are early detection and the subsequent reduction of mortality. The potential disadvantages are unnecessary anxiety, inappropriate economic cost and the use of ionising radiation. To ensure that the benefits outweigh the disadvantages the whole screening system needs to be completely quality assured. These European guidelines are based on the experience gained through national screening programmes. It contains information that can be applied at all levels and improvements can be achieved by following the technical advice. This third edition has been revised in the light of further experience over the past four years.

Book excerpt: The European quality assurance (QA) scheme for breast cancer services is a collection of evidence-based requirements (described in the Manual of the European Quality Assurance Scheme for Breast Cancer Services) that can be followed by any breast cancer service (BCS) wishing to improve the quality of care offered to women. The scheme is designed to be implemented on a voluntary basis. Auditors will check the requirements both remotely and during on-site visits to a BCS's physical premises. Those services demonstrating that they meet the requirements will be awarded a certificate. Before the QA scheme is launched, a pilot will be carried out to determine the feasibility of implementing the requirements and to test the different components in real settings. A final version of the QA scheme will then be prepared based on the outcomes obtained during the feasibility checks and pilot run. The self-assessment tool is a software that BCSs can use to check their progress towards meeting the requirements before applying for accredited certification for the European QA scheme. This version of the software is designed to test the feasibility of the requirements. Selected BCSs will use the self-assessment tool to assess their compliance with the requirements (or their likelihood of complying, if not yet implemented). They will also explain, in the dedicated section of the self-assessment tool, how they can prove (or intend to prove) their compliance and, where possible, calculate the quality indicators using the quality indicators calculator. For feasibility-check purposes, the self-assessment tool includes a feedback section for each requirement, as well as a general feedback section.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Expert laboratory and clinical researchers from around the world review how to design and evaluate studies of tumor markers and examine their use in breast cancer patients. The authors cover both the major advances in sophisticated molecular methods and the state-of-the-art in conventional prognostic and predictive indicators. Among the topics discussed are the relevance of rigorous study design and guidelines for the validation studies of new biomarkers, gene expression profiling by tissue microarrays, adjuvant systemic therapy, and the use of estrogen, progesterone, and epidermal growth factor receptors as both prognostic and predictive indicators. Highlights include the evaluation of HER2 and EGFR family members, of p53, and of UPA/PAI-1; the detection of rare cells in blood and marrow; and the detection and analysis of soluble, circulating markers.

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.

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.

Behavioural instruments such as ‘nudging’ apply insights from behavioural economics and behavioural sciences, psychology and neurosciences across a broad range of policy areas. Behavioural insights teams and networks facilitate the global spread of behavioural public policies. Despite an ever-growing amount of literature, research has remained fragmented. This comprehensive Handbook unites interdisciplinary scholarship, with contributions critically assessing the state and direction of behavioural public policies, their normative implications and political consequences.

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 (a 'BCS entity'). It covers all the relevant areas of healthcare provision for breast cancer and all breast cancer care procedures. The requirements are defined, where possible, by considering evidence-based recommendations from high-quality guidelines, best professional practices and relevant legislation. The owner of the European QA scheme is the European Commission (the 'the European QA scheme owner').

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advances in research and the treatment of cancer mean that more patients and their carers are asking healthcare professionals about the latest treatments and how they may be of benefit. It is essential that staff working with cancer patients understand fully how these new treatments work in order to disseminate timely and appropriate information to patients. The application of biology to the delivery of cancer care is playing an ever-increasing role in the management of these diseases. The Biology of Cancer: Second Edition provides details of the most recent developments in cancer care and is divided into three sections: Understanding Cancer – examines predisposing factors to developing cancer, diagnosis and its implications on the individual and society. The Science of Cancer – a closer look at the cell, genetics, the immune system, tumour markers and monoclonal antibodies. Research and Treatment – exploring translational oncology, applying research methodology to cancer research and research ethics relating to cancer. This fully updated edition also looks at evidence-based research that can be translated directly to patient care and gives details recent developments. Written by experienced, practicing healthcare professionals, The Biology of Cancer: Second Edition can easily be applied to patient care. It is an informative text for students, newly qualified nurses and practising oncology/palliative care nurses.

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.
