Team of Dedicated Specialists As part of the Sentara Cancer Network, the Colorectal Cancer Program offers a comprehensive network of dedicated specialists who meet regularly to collaborate and make recommendations on patient treatment. At each hospital, patient cases are discussed at a very high, multi-disciplinary level with many different opinions put into the equation. All the slides and x-rays are reviewed, along with details of the patient’s history, and a consensus is determined followed by the development of a specific care plan. Collaboration for Quality ImprovementThe number one accomplishment of the colorectal program this year is the reflective pathology testing (Immunohistochemical stains for mismatch repair proteins) of all colorectal specimens to identify those patients that need genetic testing for Lynch Syndrome. This testing was implemented in all Hampton Roads hospitals in July. This change will increase the ability to identify patients with high risk factors that need additional testing to determine the best long term treatment planning for them and their immediate family members.
The Colorectal Cancer Program also launched a project to reduce surgical site infections related to cancer and non-cancer colorectal surgery. By improving the communication process between the circulator and the surgeon, the accurate identification of wound class can be correctly benchmarked for national statistics.

Educating the Community The Sentara Cancer Network is passionately committed to improving the diagnosis and outcome of colorectal cancer in our region. Tremendous amounts of resources are deployed in educating the community and encouraging early diagnosis, from hosting community education programs to encourage early detection, to providing access to colonoscopy screening. In March 2012 we had an increased community focus on the disease and the benefits of early detection through screening, and living with a healthy life style to decrease the chances of developing cancer.
The 1st annual Sentara Don’t Sit on Colon Cancer 5K on the Sentara Princess Anne Hospital campus attracted more than 200 runners, including many survivors and their supportive family and friends. Plans are already underway for the 2013 events.
As a result of the outreach efforts, awareness about colorectal cancer in the service area was increased by
27%, as measured by Pilot Media research.

Innovative Technology and Clinical ExcellenceAll comprehensive breast centers in the Sentara Cancer Network have achieved accreditation from the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers, a program of the American College of Surgeons. These centers also meet the rigorous requirements to be designated as Breast Imaging Centers of Excellence by the American College of Radiology. These accreditations reflect more than passing a survey, they are the standard of care and operations in every day that these centers provide service to Hampton Roads. And it is an ongoing pursuit of excellence. The Sentara Cancer Network is at the forefront in innovative technology, platforms and standards. Recent achievements in the program that will benefit the community include:
n Approval of digital tomosynthesis and the first steps in an implementation plan to introduce this service to Hampton Roads. Tomosysthesis is an imaging modality for performing high-resolution, limited angle tomography of the breast. It is particularly helpful for studying dense breast tissues.
n Adoption of the Magview® radiology information system for mammography.
n Participation in clinical trials.
n Response to new Commonwealth of Virginia legislation requiring patient notification about dense breast findings.
n Best practice standardization as demonstrated through specimen radiography systems in all Sentara ORs where breast surgery is performed.

Outreach and ActionWhile pink ribbons have become ubiquitous around the country in October for breast cancer awareness month, the staff and volunteers connected to the Sentara Cancer Network celebrate outreach and survivorship throughout the year. Through Get Pink with Sentara outreach events, social media and online appointment requests, the teams have focused on urging women
to schedule their screening mammograms on time annually. Partnerships with the Susan G. Komen Foundation and the American Cancer Society remain strong throughout Hampton Roads with many
collaborative initiatives. In particular, the network is the proud recipient of grants to reach underserved women with mammography at Sentara Obici Hospital and Sentara Norfolk General Hospital from the Susan G. Komen Foundation; and from the American Cancer Society via a Wal-Mart donation to reach women in the City of Portmouth. The Sentara Comprehensive Breast Centers also acknowledge the ongoing support they receive from the dedicated hospital auxiliaries who over the years have funded the Sentara Mobile Mammography Van, new imaging equipment and direct patient services.
Figure 10. % of Eligible Patients with Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy Goal: 90% (NAPBC) - 2008 - 2011Standard 2.4 of the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers (NAPBC) standards states, “Axillary sentinel lymph node biopsy is considered or performed for patients with early stage breast cancer (Clinical stage I, II).” Figure 7 illustrates each breast center’s compliance with this standard.

Standard 2.9 of the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers (NAPBC) standards states, “Palpation Guided or image-guided needle biopsy is the initial diagnostic approach rather than open biopsy.” Open surgical biopsy as an initial approach should be avoided as it does not allow for treatment planning and is associated with a high re-excision rate. Figures 11 and 12 demonstrate Sentara’s performance with the Needle Biopsy before Surgery rate as well as the Re-excision rate at each breast center in the Network. Source: Cancer Registry

Collaborative Consortium While pancreatic cancer accounts for only 2.7% of all new cancers in the United States, it is the fourth leading cause of cancer deaths. The Pancreatic Cancer Consortium, formed by physician leaders from Sentara, Eastern Virginia Medical School, Virginia Oncology Associates and community physicians is comprised of highly skilled specialists committed to improving the long-term survival for pancreatic cancer patients This multi-disciplinary Consortium of experienced physi-cians and clinicians work closely together to deliver the highest quality diagnostics and treatments for each patient. Patients also have the opportunity to work one-on-one with a patient navigator.
“Virtual” Bi-Weekly ConferencesPhysicians meet bi-weekly via a web-enabled forum to discuss pancreatic cancer cases prospectively, in order to jointly develop the appropriate care plans. During the bi-weekly meetings, physicians:
n collaborate and discuss complex cancer cases
n review patient eligibility for clinical trials
n recommend appropriate courses of treatment
Annual Pancreatic Lecture SeriesThe Consortium has also joined together to provide an annual Pancreatic Lecture Series which brings national and local experts together to present pertinent pancreatic cancer topics, including the latest in pancreatic clinical practice and research.
Quality Care Advances and Clinical ProcessesThe multidisciplinary team focuses on achieving and maintaining excellent clinical outcomes, providing access to innovative national clinical trials, and educating clinical providers on pancreatic cancer care and management. Recent efforts to improve quality care and processes include:
n Participation in two national clinical trials
n Standardization of processes, including the approach to care for the resectable, borderline resectable, and metastatic pancreatic patient
n Adoption of a CT protocol for the interpretation of CT scans
n Increase of the detail provided in diagnostic reporting
n Benchmarking the Consortium’s clinical results against national results
n In-depth retrospective review of processes for continuous quality improvement
