Comments
All rates, except as noted, are per 100,000 females age 40 and over and are age adjusted to the 2000 U.S. standard million population by 5-year age groups.

The 2005 data were adjusted for areas affected by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Hurricanes Katrina and Rita had a huge impact on the populations within the Gulf Coast region for the second half of 2005. Katrina also significantly affected the Louisiana Cancer Registry's ability to report data for that time period. In an effort to provide the most accurate and complete data and statistics possible, the SEER Program has made several changes for the releases of data and statistics through 2005.

Data Source
ACS, CoC, NCDB.
Denominator
Women ages 18–69 with American Joint Committee on Cancer Stage I, II, or III primary invasive epithelial breast cancer that was surgically treated by breast conservation surgery. Breast cancer diagnoses are known or assumed first or only cancer diagnosis, and patients were known to be alive within 1 year of their diagnosis
Numerator
Subset of the denominator for whom radiation therapy to the breast was initiated within 1 year of date of diagnosis.
Comments
Breast-conserving surgery is defined for this measure as surgical excision less than mastectomy.
Includes only women who received all or part of their first course of treatment at a facility with a CoC-approved cancer program.

Denominator
Women age 18 and over with American Joint Committee on Cancer Stage I or IIA primary invasive epithelial breast cancer that was surgically treated by breast-conserving surgery or mastectomy. Breast cancer diagnoses are known or assumed first or only cancer diagnosis.
Numerator
Subset of the denominator who received lymph node surgery (axillary node dissection or sentinel lymph node biopsy) at the time of their breast cancer surgery.
Comments
Includes only women who received all or part of their first course of treatment at a facility with a CoC-approved cancer program. There is not full agreement regarding the appropriate population (denominator) for this measure, addressing lymph node surgery in women with breast cancer. The measure from the National Quality Forum only includes women with stage I/II cancer. Women classified as having stage III disease during lymph node surgery (based on four or more positive nodes) are excluded if their stage prior to surgery (i.e., clinical stage) was not recorded. This approach may artificially lower the rates for this measure.
