The use of NSWCI data to review clinical variations –
Early Breast Cancer Hypofractionation: A Case Study
Delaney G., Gandhidasan, S., Walton R., Terlich F., Baker D., Currow D.NSW Cancer Institute and SWSLHD
Aims of this presentation• Introduce the concept of clinical variation assessment using
NSWCCR data• Explore the variations of practice in hypofractionation for
early breast cancer XRT to assess what factors impact adoption of new treatments
• Hypofractionation in breast tangents– Controversial– Likely to be variation– Evidence evolution over time
NSW Cancer Registry• Combined data from the mandated Central registry and
clinical data from most LHDs (since 2005)• 388 000 cases within the registry with complete data– Lacking private hospital data (coming)– Lacking data from some rural LHDs (coming)– Long-term plans for an entire data set
Breast Cancer Hypofractionation
• Hypofractionation is giving XRT in a shorter number of fractions e.g. 16 versus conventional 25
• 5 RCTs with long-term follow-up have shown equivalence to standard fractionation for early breast cancer (local control and survival)
• Possible long-term toxicity concerns relate to high fraction size (2.6-2.7 Gy versus standard 1.8-2)
• Longer term case control studies have shown no additional toxicity

ASTRO and Australian guidelines
Recommend breast hypofractionation but perhaps insufficient evidence in some sub-groups
• Large breast• Chemotherapy• Young women• Node XRT
http://guidelines.canceraustralia.gov.au/guidelines/guideline_12.pdf
So what should the benchmark be? • All patients (believers) = 100%
– Long term follow up available– Adoption by some other groups as standard e.g. some parts of Canada– Leads to greater resource efficiency
• Selected patients (believe where evidence strong) = 40%• No patients (non-believers) = 0%
– Old way is tried and tested– Long-term toxicity still not long enough especially for rarer toxicities
such as cardiac risk
Methodology• All T1-2N0M0 treated with tangent XRT during the XRT study period 2008-
2012 in public XRT dept.• Analysis of dose/fraction (hypo# defined as >2.4Gy/f) against :
– age, – laterality, – residence distance from department, – year of tmt,– department treated– clinicianNO surrogate marker for breast size available
RESULTS• 10572 patients with T1-2N0M0• 6066 (63%) treated with XRT in a public facility
– 3947 (65%) received standard– 2119 (35%) received hypo

Hypofractionation received (%)
Summary findings• Difference in use of hypofractionation• Variation causes are multi-factorial (facility, AMO, age, laterality, distance)• Clearly the area remains controversial in NSW• Identifying some factors might help understand motivation and set future
research direction• Raises issues about whether variation is appropriate or not

Where to from here?• Registry data
– Consider other variations in treatment e.g. SNB, WLE, post-mastectomy XRT, chemotherapy
• Hypofractionation- Feed data back to departments- Update data and include private departments- Focus groups, debate the evidence- Review literature- Consensus recommendations- Ideal to link these data to outcome data (e.g. long-term IHD data)- Feedback quality loop- Increased access to techniques that minimise heart dose might help
