Breast cancer centres strive to deliver the highest 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. Breast Cancer: Global Quality Care offers a comprehensive guide to establishing 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 delivering 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 book is open access, aimed at bridging the gap between academia, clinical practice, and policy makers.
