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.

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.

Download or read book European Commission Initiative on Breast Cancer - ECIBC written by and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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 Synopsis Improving Breast Imaging Quality Standards by : National Research Council
Download or read book Improving Breast Imaging Quality Standards written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2005-09-27 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mammography is an important tool for detecting breast cancer at an early stage. When coupled with appropriate treatment, early detection can reduce breast cancer mortality. At the request of Congress, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) commissioned a study to examine the current practice of mammography and breast cancer detection, with a focus on the FDA's oversight via the Mammography Quality Standards Act (MQSA), to identify areas in need of improvement. Enacted in 1993, MQSA provides a general framework for ensuring national quality standards in facilities performing screening mammography, requires that each mammography facility be accredited and certified, and mandates that facilities will undergo annual inspections. This book recommends strategies for achieving continued progress in assuring mammography quality, including changes to MQSA regulation, as well as approaches that do not fall within the purview of MQSA. Specifically, this book provides recommendations aimed at improving mammography interpretation; revising MQSA regulations, inspections, and enforcement; ensuring an adequate workforce for breast cancer screening and diagnosis; and improving breast imaging quality beyond mammography.

Book Synopsis Mammography and Beyond by : National Research Council
Download or read book Mammography and Beyond written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2001-07-23 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each year more than 180,000 new cases of breast cancer are diagnosed in women in the U.S. If cancer is detected when small and local, treatment options are less dangerous, intrusive, and costly-and more likely to lead to a cure. Yet those simple facts belie the complexity of developing and disseminating acceptable techniques for breast cancer diagnosis. Even the most exciting new technologies remain clouded with uncertainty. Mammography and Beyond provides a comprehensive and up-to-date perspective on the state of breast cancer screening and diagnosis and recommends steps for developing the most reliable breast cancer detection methods possible. This book reviews the dramatic expansion of breast cancer awareness and screening, examining the capabilities and limitations of current and emerging technologies for breast cancer detection and their effectiveness at actually reducing deaths. The committee discusses issues including national policy toward breast cancer detection, roles of public and private agencies, problems in determining the success of a technique, availability of detection methods to specific populations of women, women's experience during the detection process, cost-benefit analyses, and more. Examining current practices and specifying research and other needs, Mammography and Beyond will be an indispensable resource to policy makers, public health officials, medical practitioners, researchers, women's health advocates, and concerned women and their families.
