Abstract 17P
Background
Breast Cancer is the most common yet preventable & treatable forms of cancer in the Philippines, hence a need to prioritize & strengthen organized screening programs to detect early & bridge to treatment to increase survival. The ACT Now PRIME CARE for Breast Cancer aims to detect breast cancer thru screening using integrated patient online education & self-evaluation with mobile clinic clinical breast exam, ultrasound, navigation to referral pathways for Centers with Medical Access Programs.
Methods
Women ages 40-60, were advised to register at actnow.philcancer.org.ph to access videos on breast health, cancer & self-exam. Patients' self-reported signs, symptoms & risk factors were triaged into high risk & low risk. Immediate scheduling of high-risk individuals to mobile clinic visit were done while low-risk individuals were advised to visit on a yearly basis. Patient education, Clinical Breast Exam & Ultrasound were performed. Both high risk & low risk groups were scheduled for teleconsultation or clinic visits. Suspicious breast findings were referred for immediate biopsy. Confirmed malignancy were referred to centers with medical access programs.
Results
Among women who completed the educational videos, 87% were evaluated to have good comprehension of the materials. Among 1,790 women screened, 277 were clinically high-risk patients & only 6 had breast ultrasound BIRADS 4-5. Two had negative biopsy results. Four had pending biopsy results. Two had confirmed positive early breast malignancy who were subsequently referred treatment. Turnaround time from work-up to treatment was 4 weeks. Among 1513 low risk women, majority have commitments to visit for screening once a year.
Conclusions
In a limited resource country, there's a need to strengthen community-based cancer screening, strengthen patient navigation & improve patients' awareness on available financial & medical access programs to improve compliance & survival. The ACT Now PRIME CARE is a pilot program to enhance education about breast health & cancer, capture cases in the community & provide immediate referral pathways to improve outcomes.
