Tumori, 04/1990, Letnik: 76, Številka: 2Journal Article
We reviewed care delivered to about 2,500 breast cancer patients in general hospitals over the period 1979-1987 using data from three surveys. The most important and consistent failure was in diagnostic timeliness: about one out of four patients was diagnosed six or more months after the first symptom leading to an almost doubled probability of being diagnosed with more advanced disease. Acceptance of treatment recommendations seemed less satisfactory for surgery than for adjuvant treatments. Conservative surgery still appeared to have limited acceptance for patients with small primary tumor (21 and 23% in 1983 and 1987, respectively) although, starting 1983, there was a shift from the Halsted to the Patey type of radical mastectomy. Follow-up was routine in most node-negative patients and adjuvant chemotherapy was already well established treatment for most pre-menopausal node-positive women (64, 79 and 76% in 1979, 1983 and 1987, respectively). Some form of adjuvant treatment in post-menopausal node-positive women was already present in 1983 but became more widespread in 1987 (82%): this being mostly accounted for by the increase in the use of tamoxifen (delivered alone or in combination with chemotherapy to 53% of women). Overall, our results suggest that areas of care more dependent on organization or doctors' and patients' education (i.e. diagnostic timeliness and accessibility) are those where deficiencies seen to be least amenable to change in the absence of concerted intervention. Among more narrowly defined clinical issues, there appeared to be some dissonance between the rapid acceptance of adjuvant treatments and the still slow pace of acceptance of less aggressive procedures by surgeons.
