King’s Daughters cancer program has been continuously accredited by the American College of Surgeons Commission on Cancer since 1994. Our program is designated a comprehensive community cancer program by the commission and received its most recent approval, with commendation, in 2009.

KING’S DAUGHTERS:

Commission on Cancer Approved with Commendation

Commission approval requires successful completion of a rigorous, on-site evaluation process and performance review. Only 25 percent of hospitals in the U.S. have earned such approval. The approval with commendation represents additional levels of compliance with these rigorous standards. Commendation level was awarded in seven of nine key areas, including leadership; quality improvement; clinical services; cancer data management; and community outreach. For more information about any aspect of our program, email us at [email protected].

Access to cutting-edge treatment and research King’s Daughters has been participating in cancer research for more than 20 years. We participate in an array of research trials, which allows us to offer patients cutting-edge treatment options right here in their own communities.

Perhaps more than any other medical discipline, the treatment of cancer requires the expertise of many. Medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, surgeons, family physicians, many specialized physicians, nurses, physical therapists, researchers, dietitians, social workers, pastoral care … the team may incorporate some, or all, of these professionals, working together to provide the most effective, evidence-based treatment for patients with cancer. Surgical OncologyFor many types of cancer, surgery is the first-line treatment of choice, either alone or in combination with other therapies. Our surgical oncology program offers advanced treatment options for many cancers, including those that affect the lungs, chest wall, skin, breast, and digestive systems. Our surgical team is made up of board-certified surgeons, an experienced operating room staff, clinical pathologists and more.

Oncology Specialty Unit The Oncology Specialty Unit at King’s Daughters offers personalized and highly skilled nursing care for patients who require hospitalization. The 25-bed unit provides private rooms and a family kitchen. Consistently rated by our customers as providing very good care, the Oncology Specialty Unit strives to give meaningful and specialized care to all cancer patients and families.

Outpatient Infusion King’s Daughters Outpatient Infusion Center offers convenience to patients needing IV therapy. The center is open 12 hours daily, seven days a week. Highly skilled nurses provide treatment for patients. A social worker helps with obtaining social and financial assistance. The infusion team can be reached by calling (606) 408-7076.

Cardio-Oncology ProgramNew this year is a cardiology program designed to follow up on patients who have received specific types of chemotherapy and/or radiation. The cardiology team reviews personal treatment plans and evaluates further recommendations to safely assist patients through recovery and survivorship. The Cardio-Oncology Clinic can be reached by calling the Center for Heart Health at (606) 408-6000.

Page 4: Cancer Community Report 2011

Nutrition SupportIn cancer care, dietitians play a role at every stage. Dietitians are involved with primary prevention, cancer treatment, secondary prevention, and palliative/end-of-life care. Often a dietitian assists patients toward a speedier recovery. Dietitians can consult patients in the hospital or on an outpatient basis. For additional information, please call our dietitians Amy McFann at (606) 408-5021 or Heather Jenkins at (606) 408-6795.

Distress ManagementKDMC’s Distress Management program was created this year to assist patients who may be experiencing a wide range of feelings and emotions. Patients are screened for distress and re-evaluated with any change in condition or treatment plan. Referrals can be made at any time by a healthcare provider or by contacting the Center for Healthy Living at (606) 408-5193.

Hereditary Cancer Program Approximately 5 to 10 percent of cancers can be linked to heredity. Some individuals may be referred to explore their personal risk for cancer. The program is affiliated with the University of Louisville and Joseph Hersh, M.D., Chief of Genetics. For additional information, please call (606) 408-6213.

Palliative CareKing’s Daughters palliative care team works to improve the quality of life for patients and families. The palliative care team offers an individualized approach and can be reached by calling Crystal Vance at (606) 408-3836 or email to [email protected].

The cancer liaison physician’s role is to enhance communication between the Commission on Cancer and the physician champions serving in commission-accredited cancer programs.

The liaison is in a leader role within the cancer program and is responsible for evaluating, interpreting and reporting the program’s performance using the National Cancer Data Base to the cancer committee. This helps improve the quality of care; to enhance cancer prevention initiatives; and improve access to care.

Other responsibilities include reporting on commission activities, initiatives and priorities to the program’s cancer committee; serving as a liaison to the American Cancer Society; and participating in the commission accreditation survey.

The liaison physician plays a vital role in providing the leadership and direction to monitor, maintain, and improve quality in your cancer program. I have served in this voluntary role at KDMC since 1995.

This past year, I was named the state chair for Kentucky Commission on Cancer. This is a three-year appointment elected by the Kentucky Council of the American College of Surgeons. In this role, I represent Kentucky at national meetings of the commission. As state chair, I communicate regularly with cancer liaison physicians throughout the state.

State chairs are the connections between the national commission and local cancer liaison physicians. We help hospitals use accreditation standards to improve quality of cancer care; encourage hospitals without accreditation to become accredited; and provide education through the media and conferences.

General Surgeon Mary Legenza, M.D.

Accreditation Breast cancer continues to be an important health issue for women throughout our region. At King’s Daughters, we recognize the impact of a breast cancer diagnosis on women and their families, and do everything we can to promote prevention, early detection, rapid diagnosis, treatment and positive outcomes.

In recognition of our efforts, King’s Daughters was awarded accreditation from the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers, a program of the American College of Surgeons Cancer Program. KDMC was the first in our region to achieve this designation.

The NAPBC is a consortium of national, professional organizations dedicated to improving the quality of care and monitoring outcomes of the breast diseases.

In earning the accreditation, King’s Daughters met all 44 program standards and components identified by the NAPBC, while ensuring the most efficient and contemporary care available for patients with diseases of the breast.

Radiologist Robert Penkava, M.D., and surgeon Mary Legenza, M.D., are co-medical directors of King’s Daughters Breast Care Center.

We take Breast Cancer seriously

What is a breast navigator? The breast health navigator guides patients with breast abnormalities through additional testing and physician appointments.

Our breast health navigator coordinates care throughout treatment. She can assess the physical, psychological and social needs of the patient. The results are enhanced patient outcomes, increased satisfaction, and reduced cost of care. This may involve different individuals at each point of care.

Debbie Alexander serves as King’s Daughters breast health navigator. She can be reached by calling (606) 408-4067 or emailing [email protected].

Lymphedema Women who have been treated for breast cancer may be at risk for arm, breast, and chest swelling called lymphedema (limf-uh-dee-muh). Most women who have had breast cancer will not

develop this side effect, but some will. The risk of lymphedema is higher for women who have surgery and radiation therapy to treat breast cancer.

King’s Daughters provides lymphedema care through two certified lymphedema specialists. Contact our breast health navigator for assistance or email us at [email protected].

Breast Cancer Support Group Women battling breast cancer have unique questions and concerns. This support group provides a community of women who have faced – or are facing – some of these concerns. By sharing together, each member is strengthened. The group meets quarterly. For more information, contact Doretha Pridemore at (606) 408-7067.

If breast cancer could be defeated by sheer strength of numbers, the battle would have ended Saturday, Oct. 1, 2011. Nearly 600 people joined forces to participate in the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Lexington I Am the Cure Walk in Ashland’s Central Park.

The event was a huge success – exceeding the $80,000 fundraising goal.In all, 564 walkers representing 51 teams registered.

Komen for the Cure focuses on helping uninsured and underinsured women get the treatment, screening and education they need to battle breast cancer. Seventy-five percent of the funds raised stay in eastern and central Kentucky and will be used to fund these services. The remaining 25 percent helps fund national research on breast cancer.

Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths among American men. The American Cancer Society estimated more than 240,000 new cases of prostate cancer would be diagnosed in 2011, and 33,000 men would die of the disease. Approximately one in six American men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in his lifetime.

The goal of KDMC’s Cancer Committee aligns with those of the American Cancer Society: By 2015, we want at least 90 percent of men in our service area to follow age-appropriate detection guidelines for prostate cancer.

Risk Factors It is not completely understood what causes prostate cancer, but researchers have found several factors that may impact risk:

Signs & Symptoms Early prostate cancer usually causes no symptoms. It is most often found by a PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) test and/or manual exam. Some advanced prostate cancers can slow or weaken the urinary stream or increase frequency of

urination. In some cases, kidney blockage can occur. Patients with advanced prostate cancer may have blood in the urine.

• Age: This is the single strongest risk factor for prostate cancer. The disease is very rare before the age of 40, but the risk rises rapidly after age 50. Two-thirds of cases are found in men age 65 and older.

• Race/ethnicity: Prostate cancer occurs more often in African-American men than others. Prostate cancer occurs less often in Asian-American and Hispanic/Latino men.

• Family History: Prostate cancer can run in families, which suggests that there may be an inherited or genetic factor. Having a father or brother with prostate cancer more than doubles a man’s

risk of developing this disease.

• Diet: The exact role of diet is not clear. Men who eat a lot of red meat or high-fat dairy products appear to have a slightly higher chance of getting prostate cancer. Some studies suggest that diets high in lycopene (e.g., tomatoes, especially those cooked in oil) may reduce the risk.

• Exercise: Some studies have found higher levels of physical activity, particularly in older men, may lower the risk of advanced prostate cancer.

• Smoking: A recent study linked smoking to a small increase in the risk of death from prostate cancer.

Early DetectionMortality rates for prostate cancer have been declining, and according to some experts, this may suggest early detection using the PSA test or manual exams may be beneficial.

However, the results of three large clinical trials designed to determine the efficacy of PSA testing were not in agreement. Two European studies found a lower risk of death from prostate cancer among men receiving PSA screening while a U.S. study did not. Further analysis of these studies is under way. Most experts agree the current evidence is insufficient to recommend for or against routine testing for early prostate cancer detection.

In 2010, the American Cancer Society guidelines for the first time provided detailed recommendations to clinicians on core factors related to prostate cancer screening and treatment. The guidelines recommend information should be shared with men and that asymptomatic men who have at least a 10-year life expectancy, and have an opportunity to make an informed decision, should consider having prostate screening. Men at average risk should receive this information beginning at age 50. Men at higher risk should receive this information at age 40 to 45, depending on individual risk profiles.

The Five-Year KDMC Experience Each year, the Cancer Committee of King’s Daughters provides an in-depth analysis of a specific type of cancer. This year, we are looking at the question: “How does prostate cancer treatment at King’s Daughters compare to that of Kentucky and the U.S.?”

Age at DiagnosisApproximately 40 percent of men diagnosed with prostate cancer at King’s Daughters were age 60 to 69. Twenty-five percent were diagnosed in their 70s.

Unless otherwise noted, data represent KDMC Registry 2010; Kentucky State Registry 2009; and U.S. statistics

are from American Cancer Society Facts & Figures 2008.

Stage at Diagnosis The stage of the cancer at diagnosis is important to treatment planning. King’s Daughters follows the National Comprehensive Cancer Network Guidelines (NCCN) in treatment planning. NCCN guidelines are considered the “gold standard” for treatment of patients with cancer.

In reviewing stages of prostate cancer, the earlier the diagnosis, the greater the chance for improved outcomes. King’s Daughters is above average in the early diagnosis of prostate cancer. Approximately 80 percent of patients at KDMC were diagnosed at Stage II.

King’s Daughters physicians are vigilant about promoting and encouraging prostate screening, and our community outreach efforts, which provide free screenings each September, also play an important role.

Treatment – First Course Therapy The treatment of prostate cancer depends upon the stage at diagnosis, the aggressiveness of the cancer, and the preferences of the patient. Treatment for prostate cancer may include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, or a combination of these. At King’s Daughters, 30 percent of patients received surgery as the first course of treatment; 18 percent underwent radiation therapy as the first course of treatment; 14 percent received a combination of radiation and hormone therapy.

Survival King’s Daughters survival rates exceed those of Kentucky and the U.S. This is attributed to a higher rate of early diagnosis at KDMC. The five-year survival rate at KDMC was 94 percent; for Kentucky residents, the five-year survival was 91 percent. Nationally, the five-year survival rate was 86 percent.
