5 2014 ANNUAL REPORT Northside Medical Center Cancer Committee Chairman s 2014 Annual Report As Chairman of the Cancer Committee, I am happy to report that Valley Care Health System has continued to excel in cancer care management during Valley Care Health System s cancer program remains accredited by the Commission on Cancer of the American College of Surgeons. Only 25% of hospitals in the United States have cancer programs approved by the Commission on Cancer and 80% of newly diagnosed cancer patients are treated at these institutions. Approval by the Commission on Cancer is only given to those facilities that are voluntarily committed to providing the highest level of quality cancer care and undergo a rigorous evaluation process and review of their performance. The Cancer Registry of Northside Medical Center accessioned 303 analytic cancer cases in Our hospital system primarily serves a three-county region and over 99% of the new cancer patients reside in this area which includes Mahoning, Trumbull and Columbiana counties. The percentage of female cancer patients registered in 2013 at Northside Medical Center was 61%. This is substantially higher than the national average of 48% female and 52% male cancer patients as reported by the American Cancer Society statistics. There are a few noteworthy differences between state and national statistics and those of Valley Care Health System. Analytic breast cancer cases comprise 23% of our total cancer cases at Northside Medical Center; this is substantially higher than the 14% seen nationwide. This may be due to the highly effective Breast Cancer Program which is one of the busiest programs for screening and diagnostic mammography in the area. Cancer education has also remained a priority at Valley Care Health System. In 2013, our Cancer Committee sponsored our 32 th Annual Cancer Symposium. These cancer symposiums are directed toward physicians and other healthcare professionals and bring presentations by nationally known speakers covering new and emerging concepts in the treatment and diagnosis of cancer. Other educational endeavors include a weekly Tumor Conference, which is a multidisciplinary conference where a number of physicians, including surgeons, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, pathologists, diagnostic radiologists and primary care physicians discuss the diagnosis and management of specific cases of cancer. We also sponsored a number of educational activities and health screenings for the community including a colorectal cancer screening, lectures for Senior Circle, and a Cancer Caregiver Support group that meets monthly.

Breast cancer is the most common that women may face. It can occur at any age, but most likely to occur after the age of 40, and the risk goes up as you age. An estimated 232,340 new cases of invasive breast cancer were expected among US women, as well as an estimated 64,640 additional cases of in situ breast cancer.

The majority of breast lumpectomies receive the standard of Radiation therapy. Mammography is still the effective method of early detection. As long as a woman is in good health she should continue Mammography and if needed she would be able to withstand treatment.
