Are Many Community Hospitals Undertreating Breast Cancer?: Lessons From 24,834 Patients
Annals of Surgery. 248(2):154-162, August 2008.
Abstract
Objective: To compare treatment patterns and long-term outcomes between teaching and community hospitals treating patients with infiltrating ductal carcinoma (IDC).Methods: All IDCs from the Florida Cancer Data System from 1994 to 2000 were examined.Results: Overall, 24,834 operative cases of IDC were identified. Teaching hospitals treated 11.3% of patients with a larger proportion of stage III and IV disease (39.8% vs. 33.0%). Five- and 10-year overall survival rates at teaching hospitals were 84% and 72%, compared with 81% and 69% at high-volume community hospitals and 77% and 63% at low-volume hospitals (P < p =" 0.008)." ratio =" 0.763," ratio =" 0.903,">

Histopathology - review issue on breast pathology

The aim of this issue is to provide a range of articles addressing diagnostic, predictive and prognostic breast pathology, as well as some overviews of areas of research that have implications for future developments particularly in targeted clinical therapies. A number of the manuscripts address lesions causing diagnostic difficulties, as evidenced by routine day-today and referral practice, as reported previously in this journal. Reviews of other, commoner lesions have been selected where there have been developments in understanding of the biology or changes in classification.I have found reading and editing the articles in this review issue of Histopathology both illuminating and educational. I hope the readers, similarly, find the selection of topics stimulating and valuable. Sarah E Pinder - Editorial
