Transcript ICS Orientation: Breast Cancer Screening

Cancer
Screening
TriLHIN ICS Orientation Workshop
July 16, 2014
Dr. Jan Owen, MD, CCFP, FCFP
Regional Primary Care Lead, SWRCP
Learning Objectives
• To identify the goals and key features of Ontario’s
population-based cancer screening programs
(breast, cervical and colorectal)
• To explore and understand current evidence on
cancer screening
• To apply the evidence-based guidelines to relevant
cancer screening case studies
2
Agenda Outline
1. Benefits and Harms of Screening
2. Spotlight on Screening Programs
• Screening rate targets:
challenges/opportunities
• Latest evidence-based guidelines
• Current program performance
• Relevant case studies
3
Potential Benefits of Screening
• Reduced mortality and morbidity from the
disease, and in some cases reduced
incidence
• More treatment options when cancer
diagnosed early or at a pre-malignant
stage
• Improved quality of life
• Peace of mind
5
Possible Harms of Screening
• Anxiety about the test
• False-positive results
‾ Psychological harm
‾ Labeling due to negative association with disease
‾ Unnecessary follow-up tests
• False-negative results
‾ Delayed treatment
• Over-diagnosis and over-treatment

Screening Activity Report (SAR)
Purpose
Approach
Motivation: Enhance
physician motivation to
improve screening rates
Dashboard displays a comparison of a
physician’s screening rates relative to
peers in LHIN and province
Administration: Provide
support to foster improved
screening rates
Provides detailed lists of all eligible and
enrolled patients displaying their
screening-related history; clinic staff can be
appointed as delegates
Failsafe: Identify
participants who require
further action
Patients with abnormal results with no
known follow-up are clearly highlighted on
the reports
Performance: Improve
physician adherence to
guidelines and program
recommendations
Methodology based on the program’s
clinical guidelines and recommendations
for best practice

Burden of Disease
• 1 in 9 Canadian women will develop
breast cancer in their lifetime
• In Ontario, an estimated 9,300
women will be diagnosed and 1,950
will die of breast cancer in 2013
• Most frequently diagnosed cancer in
women
13
Burden of Disease
• Breast cancer occurs primarily in women
aged 50 to 74 (57% of cases); 8 in every
10 breast cancers are found in women
aged 50+
• More deaths occur in women aged 80+
than in any other age group
• Reflects benefits of screening/treatment in
prolonging life for middle-aged women
14
Screening Rates
61% of eligible Ontario women age
50 to 74 years were screened for
breast cancer in 2010–2011
• 71% screened in OBSP,
• 29% outside of OBSP
• The national target is to increase
screening rates to ≥ 70% of the
eligible population
15
Challenges
• Screening rates have slowed; lowest in 70 to
74 year (53%) followed by 50 to 54 year age
groups (58%)
• Recruitment of under- and never-screened
women (e.g., marginalized groups)
• Increasing awareness of and referrals to the
high risk program among public and providers
• Controversy around screening women at
average risk in the 40 to 49 age group

•
•
Women 40 to 49: Recommend not routinely
screening
Women 50 to 69: Recommend routinely screening
Women 70 to 74: Recommend routinely screening
Women aged 50 to 74: suggest screening every 2 to
3 years
Women aged 40 to 74 who are not at high risk for
breast cancer: Recommend not routinely screening
with MRI
Women at high risk aged 30 to 69: Recommend
annual screening with MRI (in addition to
mammography)
17
Screening Recommendations

Breast self
examination
(BSE)

Preventive Health Care (2011)
Recommend not advising women
to routinely practice BSE
Clinical breast Recommend not routinely
examination
performing CBE alone or in
(CBE)
conjunction with mammography

Ontario Breast Screening Program
(OBSP)
• Province-wide organized breast cancer
screening program since 1990
• Ensures Ontario women at average risk aged
50 to 74 receive benefits of regular
mammography screening
• Expansion of OBSP (July 2011) extended
benefits of organized screening to women at
high risk aged 30 to 69 (to be screened annually
with mammography and MRI)
21
OBSP Eligibility Criteria
Average-risk screening:
• Women aged 50 to 74 years
• Asymptomatic
• No personal history of breast cancer
• No current breast implants
22
OBSP Eligibility Criteria
High risk screening:
• Women aged 30 to 69 years
• Asymptomatic
• May have personal history of breast cancer
• May have current breast implants
• Confirmed to be at high risk for breast cancer

Lately?
24
OBSP High Risk Eligibility Criteria
Four Assessment Categories:

Clinical Case Study 1
• 42-year-old asymptomatic woman asks to be
screened for breast cancer
• Her grandmother was diagnosed with breast
cancer at age 65
What is your response?
37
Clinical Case Study 2
• 39-year-old asymptomatic woman asks to
be screened for breast cancer
• Her mother was diagnosed with breast
cancer at age 37
What is your response?
38
Clinical Case Study 3
• Your 58-year-old average risk
asymptomatic patient in a small rural
community asks about breast screening
• She wonders if she should take the longer
trip to Community A where there is a new
digital mammography unit; go to
Community B, which is closer and has an
analogue unit; or wait for the OBSP coach
(with a digital unit) to come to town
What is your advice?
