abstract p2 12 04 Impact of Institution of young women s breast cancer clinic on time to treatment and utilization of fertility genetics and social work consultations in women under age 50 with new diagnosis of early stage breast cancer
Cancer Research, 2017Co-Authors: Megan Kruse, Paola Raska, Jame Abraham, G T Budd, Alberto J Montero, Stephen R Grobmyer, H MooreAbstract:Background: Genetic counseling and fertility resources are often underutilized in young women with early stage breast cancer (ESBC) due, in part, to concerns about treatment delays. At our Institution, women newly diagnosed with ESBC typically see a breast surgeon, medical oncologist and radiation oncologist in a multidisciplinary clinic with additional cancer related subspecialist referrals occurring at those providers9 discretion. We hypothesized that time to treatment (TTT) and utilization of fertility, genetics and social work consultations would improve after implementing a Young Women9s Breast Cancer Clinic. As of January 1, 2015, all patients under age 50 seen at Cleveland Clinic for new diagnosis of ESBC were automatically offered scheduling of appointments with medical genetics, reproductive endocrinology and social work in addition to the usual multidisciplinary team. Methods: Women under age 50 diagnosed with ESBC seen at Cleveland Clinic from 1/2014-12/2015 were identified using our tumor registry. Demographics, tumor pathology, clinical and treatment histories were obtained through medical chart review as per IRB approved protocol. Time from initial visit in our system to date of treatment initiation was calculated for all patients and compared between the 2014 (pre-intervention) and 2015 (post-intervention) cohorts as was time from diagnosis (biopsy date) to treatment initiation. Completed reproductive endocrinology, genetic counseling and social work consultations were documented. Welch two sample t-test was used to compare time to treatment between groups. Chi squared test was used to compare frequency of subspecialty consultations between groups. Results: 207 young women with ESBC were identified over the 2 year period, 99 in 2014 and 108 in 2015. Median age was 45 in 2014 and 44 in 2015. Most were diagnosed outside of our hospital system, 58% in 2014 and 76% in 2015. The most common initial treatment was surgery with reconstruction (S+R) (54% and 50% for 2014 and 2015 respectively) followed by chemotherapy (23% and 27%) then surgery without reconstruction (S) (20% and 24%). Median TTT from first encounter was 30 days in 2014 and 28 days in 2015 (p=0.33) and was 36 days versus 33.5 days (p=0.23) when calculated from biopsy date. TTT in the S and S+R groups was 37 vs 28 days (p=0.84) and 36.5 vs 32 days, (p=0.21), respectively. Genetics, reproductive endocrinology and social work consults in 2014 vs 2015 were documented as 89% vs 94%, 4% vs 9% and 58 vs% 55% (p=0.22, 0.32, 0.77). For patients under age 40, 27% in 2014 and 30% in 2015 completed reproductive endocrinology consultations. Conclusions: offering upfront scheduling of breast cancer related subspecialty appointments for young women with newly diagnosed ESBC did not significantly improve overall TTT. There was a trend towards improved TTT in those receiving surgery with or without reconstruction as first treatment and no suggestion of delay in TTT. A modest numeric increase in completed genetic counseling and reproductive endocrinology consultations was not statistically significant, but may have been clinically meaningful for affected individuals.
