6547 Background: In Japan, growing concern that patients do not receive optimum care led to the enactment of the Cancer Control Act in 2006, which mandates the government to undertake initiatives in ensuring the quality of cancer care. Here, we evaluated the current status of breast cancer care in Japan using process-of-care quality indicators (QIs) for breast cancer care. Methods: Combining clinical evidence and expert opinion, we developed 45 QIs covering the continuum of breast cancer care from initial evaluation to follow-up. Each QI describes standards of a particular aspect of care, and its score is calculated as the percentage of applicable patients who received the recommended care (adherence score). Of the 45 QIs, 7 could be scored using data in the Japanese Breast Cancer Registry, which covers about 40% of all Japanese breast cancer patients and has been continuously maintained since 1975. Results: The study population included 15,227 patients registered by 224 facilities in 2005. On average, patients received 72.1% of recommended care. However, substantial variation in adherence was seen across QIs (21–98%). Adherence score was less than 85% in five of seven QIs. Variation across facilities was observed in six QIs. Conclusions: The quality of breast cancer care in Japan has room for improvement in many aspects of care. Although the amount of data in the cancer registry suitable for quality assessment is limited, it is useful in detecting quality problems.
