Breast cancer centres, strive to deliver a high-quality care possible within the limits of their financial and personnel resources. Delivering, monitoring and evaluating breast cancer care remains a challenge, becoming increasingly unsustainable in many countries.
In the second edition, Breast Cancer: Global Quality Care offers a comprehensive guide to establish a breast care unit, regardless of geography. Written by a multidisciplinary team of over 130 experts from across 30 countries, it provides practical strategies for integrated breast cancer care tailored to socio- economic variations and encouraging international collaboration.
Covering every component of the care pathway, including imaging, surgery, systemic treatment, nursing, psychological care and genetic assessment, the book combines theoretical insights with practical guidance. It defines the targets to strive for, methods to assess care, and key recommendations for how to improve within
existing limitations. The book also considers broader themes such as accreditation, emerging technologies, media, and the role of government in shaping care.
This practical guide will be valuable for anyone working in the field of breast cancer care, including patients, clinicians, care providers and policymakers interested in the social, financial, and political aspects.
The open access is aimed at bridging the gap between academia, clinical practice and policy makers. We have included the webinars presented by the authors and produced by e-cancer, original artwork created by Pascale Pollier with AI and a link to insert comments.
