Assessing the Rate and Quality of Breast Cancer Treatment Following Initial Diagnosis
Most patients diagnosed with breast cancer received treatment, but fewer than half met criteria for GCC. Differences in GCC rate by stage and race suggest both institutional and patient-level barriers to standard care. System improvements aimed at strengthening coordination between diagnosis and treatment may help increase adherence to guideline-based breast cancer care.
