1 BREAST MEASURE SPECIFICATIONS Cancer Programs Practice Profile Reports (CP 3 R) Rapid Quality Reporting System (RQRS) Introduction The Commission on Cancer s (CoC) National Cancer Data Base (NCDB) staff has undertaken an effort to improve the transparency with which the measures in the CP 3 R and RQRS reporting systems are calculated. To this end, for each measure, supporting information, three tables and a flow-diagram are provided: The measure type, clinical rationale and references are provided. The Measure Item List table provides each cancer registy data item used in the assessment of the indicated measure. This includes the FDS data item name, the North American Association of Central Cancer Registry (NAACCR) item number and a brief description of each item. The Case Eligibility Criteria table itemizes the steps taken to determine whether cases belong in the measure denominator for cases diagnosed 2010 and later. Each condition is described and is accompanied by the data item and code values used in the assesment. The Numerator Criteria table illustrates how cases are assessed to determine whether they qualify for the numerator of the measure, in other words are concordant for the standard of care. A flow-diagram is provided to illustrate the steps through which cases pass as they are evaluted for the indicated measure. The number appearing in each flow-diagram element corresponds to the assessment criteria appearing in the Case Eligibility Criteria and Numerator Criteria tables. Measure Descriptions This document provides specifications for the following measures: Measure (NQF #219) Radiation therapy is administered within 1 year (365 days) of diagnosis for women under age 70 receiving breast conserving surgery for breast cancer. (NQF #0559) Combination chemotherapy is recommended or administered within 4 months (120 days) of diagnosis for women under 70 with AJCC T1cN0M0 or Stage IB - III hormone receptor negative breast cancer. (NQF #0220) Tamoxifen or third generation aromatase inhibitor is recommended or administered within 1 year (365 days) of diagnosis for women with AJCC T1cN0M0 or Stage IB - III hormone receptor positive breast cancer. Radiation therapy is recommended or administered following any mastectomy within 1 year (365 days) of diagnosis of breast cancer for women with 4 positive regional lymph nodes. (NQF #0221) Image or palpation-guided needle biopsy to the primary site is performed to establish diagnosis of breast cancer. Breast conservation surgery rate for women with AJCC clinical stage 0, I, or II breast cancer. Note: Newly adopted measures will be integrated into CP 3 R prior to their release in RQRS.

2 Measure Type There are several types of measures approved by the CoC. Evidence-based measures or accountability measures promote improvements in care delivery and are the highest standard for measurement. These measures demonstrate provider accountability, influence payment for services and promote transparency. The quality improvement measure function is to monitor the need for quality improvement or remediation. Generally, these measures are for individual program use. Surveillance measures are used to identify the status quo, generate information for decision making, and/or to monitor patterns and trends of care. The following Table summarizes the purposes and use of these measures: Measure Type Accountability Quality Improvement Surveillance Measure definition and use High level of evidence supports the measure, including multiple randomized control trials. These measures can be used for such purposes as public reporting, payment incentive programs, and the selection of providers by consumers, health plans, or purchasers. Evidence from experimental studies, not randomized control trials supports the measure. These are intended for internal monitoring of performance within an organization. Limited evidence exist that supports the measure or the measure is used for informative purposes to accredited programs. These measures can be used for to identify the status quo as well as monitor patterns and trends of care in order to guide decision-making and resource allocation. Released March

3 BCSRT Breast measure: Radiation therapy is administered within 1 year (365 days) of diagnosis for women under age 70 receiving breast conserving surgery for breast cancer. Measure Type: Accountability NQF # 0219 Clinical Rationale: There is extensive evidence from randomized clinical trials demonstrating the impact of radiation with breast conservation surgery. It reduces the risk of local recurrence in the breast and may have a small impact on survival. The limitation for the purpose of a measure for provider accountability to women under the age of 70 is because of high-level evidence that women with small, estrogen receptor positive cancer (the majority of women over age 70 with breast cancer) gain only a very small reduction in local recurrence and no difference in lifetime mastectomy rate and no difference in survival. The impact as measured by performance gap, improvement in outcome, and numbers of cases affected has been specifically examined by Hasset et al.

8 MAC Breast measure: Combination chemotherapy is recommended or administered within 4 months (120 days) of diagnosis for women under the age of 70 with AJCC T1cN0M0 or Stage IB - III hormone receptor negative breast cancer Measure Type: Accountability NQF # 0559 Clinical Rationale: There is extensive documentation of the benefit of multi-agent chemotherapy in women with hormone receptor negative breast cancer. Chemotherapy reduces the risk of distant disease recurrence and death by about one-third. The restriction to women under age 70 is because this measure is for the purpose of provider accountability. There are limited data in women over age 70 to guide recommendations, and a higher fraction of these women have reasons to omit chemotherapy, including co-morbidity. References: 1.

Measure specifies use of Tamoxifen or third-generation aromatase inhibitor rather than specifying Tamoxifen for premenopausal and aromatase inhibitor for postmenopausal because of (a) difficulty in clearly identifying from records or administrative data the menopause status, and (b) variation in appropriate use of Tamoxifen in postmenopausal women and some reasonable use of aromatase inhibitor in premenopausal women with the use of ovarian suppression.

21 MASTRT Breast measure: Radiation therapy is recommended or administered following any mastectomy within 1 year (365 days) of diagnosis of breast cancer for women with 4 positive regional lymph nodes. Measure Type: Accountability Clinical Rationale: There is consensus that post-mastectomy radiation should be recommended for women with breast cancer and with >=4 positive regional lymph nodes (1). Numerous studies have shown a significant reduction in locoregional recurrence rates, disease-free survival rates, and even overall survival with this adjuvant therapy (2-8). As a result of this proven benefit, guidelines from both the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) (9) and the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) (10) include this recommendation, which was also adopted by the Quality Integration Committee of the Commission on Cancer in May of References: 1.

28 nbx Breast measure: Image or palpation-guided needle biopsy to the primary site is performed to establish diagnosis of breast cancer Measure Type: Quality Improvement NQF # 0221 Clinical Rationale: Percutaneous needle biopsy (PNB) for breast tissue diagnosis has emerged as a quality metric for breast disease management. In 2003, the National Comprehensive Cancer Network identified needle biopsy as preferred over surgical excision for breast diagnosis (Bevers et al.). In 2005, a multidisciplinary international consensus conference concluded that PNB is the optimal initial tissue-acquisition method and the procedure of choice for image-detected breast abnormalities. (Silverstein, p588) More recently, the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers established palpation-guided or image-guided needle biopsy as the initial diagnostic approach rather than open biopsy as one of 19 clinical management standards by which breast centers are measured. Thus, PNB represents an important transition in breast cancer management of specific interest to surgeons. (Quoted from Calhoun and Anderson; p. 2191). References: 1.

33 BCS Breast measure: Breast conservation surgery rate for women with AJCC clinical stage 0, I, or II breast cancer. Measure Type: Surveillance Clinical Rationale: Based on multiple prospective randomized trials (1,2) from both the United States and Europe which have demonstrated equivalent results as measured by overall patient survival, consensus exists that breast conservation treatment is an appropriate method of primary therapy for the majority of women with Stage I and II breast cancer and is preferable because it provides survival rates equivalent to those of total mastectomy and axillary dissection while preserving the breast (3). Additional trials have also determined that breast conservation treatment is a reasonable approach and is generally applicable for most women with Stage 0 breast cancer (ductal carcinoma in situ or DCIS) (4,5). However, not all patients are appropriate candidates for, or select, breast conservation treatment. The rate of breast conservation surgery will vary significantly based on patient age, stage of disease, as well as other factors, and therefore will also vary between institutions based on case mix. No ideal or expected rate of breast conservation treatment has been established, or is implied. This measure is being reported to institutions so they are aware of their individual patterns of treatment (surveillance measure) and can compare their rates of breast conservation surgery with other institutions, regionally and nationally.
