Guidelines
S4.6 “Each year, a physician member of the cancer committee performs a study to assess whether patients within the program are evaluated and treated according to evidence‐based national treatment guidelines. Study results are presented to the cancer committee and documented in cancer committee minutes.”

Examples:
Are minimally invasive breast biopsy techniques utilized at your facility?
NCCN Guidelines
Are adequate resection margins performed and documented in excision of SCC of the Head and Neck?
Society of Head and Neck Surgeons Are appropriate pre‐treatment evaluation studies being done for NSCLC cases?

MonitoringCompliancewithEvidence‐Based
Guidelines
Methods: All 2011 breast cancer patients were reviewed and compared to current
breast cancer genetic screening recommendations according to NCCN guidelines to
determine if they met criteria for genetic counseling and testing. We then reviewed the
charts to see if patients were referred for genetic counseling and testing.
Findings: Unable to assess two patients due to outmigration of care. One patient that
would need genetic referral but is a ward of the state and does not have any family. One
patient that looks appropriate for genetic referral but is too ill to test. We found one
patient that qualified that the oncologistfound and referred for counseling/testing. One
patient that qualified but who had already received genetic testing/counseling on a prior
breast diagnosis. Found one patient that may still need referral for genetic
counseling/testing. Found one patient that is deceased that was appropriate for genetic
referral.
Recommendations: Based on the finding that some patients who should have received
genetic counseling and testing did not, I recommend that we develop a form based on
recommended screening guidelines from NCCN and screen all newly diagnosed breast
cancer patients for the need for genetic counseling and testing (see attached form).
