Abstract PS9-25: Receipt of preventive care and health promotion in a cohort of early stage breast cancer survivors

Le résumé fourni par la source

Abstract Introduction: Prior studies have demonstrated that breast cancer survivors are less likely to receive primary care preventive services than non-cancer patients. However, even recent studies have largely assessed survivors diagnosed over a decade ago. Further, studies have not considered patient receipt of health promotion guidance, critical to maintaining a healthy lifestyle. We examined the receipt of preventive care and health promotion in a modern cohort of early stage breast cancer survivors seen within our breast program. Methods: A cross-sectional cohort of women with a history of stage I/II, hormone receptor +, HER2neu- breast cancer within 5 years from diagnosis who did not receive chemotherapy were consented (n=101). Survivors completed a survey evaluating aspects of survivorship, including provider discussions regarding health promotion. Electronic medical record (EMR) abstraction captured receipt of preventive care (see Table). We excluded survivors with a primary care provider outside our health care system to ensure complete capture of screening (n=36). Results: Our final cohort (n=62) was a median 2 years from diagnosis (range 0.5-5 years) and a median age of 61 years (range 30-84). Most were stage I (73%) and white (95%). The majority of survivors received preventive care (Table). Survivors were less likely to report health promotion guidance from their provider, including: discussing “things you could do to improve your health” (66%), getting “help you wanted to make changes in your habits” (52%), discussing “how much or what kinds of food you eat” (24%), and “how much or what kind of exercise” (42%). Conclusion: In a modern cohort of early stage breast cancer survivors from a single breast center homed within our health care system, documented receipt of preventive care was high (≥75%). These high rates may reflect the implementation of EMRs (which could facilitate care coordination and provide best practice alerts), participation of our health system in state-wide quality improvement programs, and/or heightened awareness of the importance of preventive care by oncology providers. However, survivors perceive limited discussions surrounding health promotion, presenting an opportunity to improve survivorship care. Table.
