Abstract:
In 1998, Governor Paul E. Patton established the Kentucky Breast Cancer Task Force (KBCTF) to assess and make recommendations on the availability, accessibility, utilization, quality, and outcomes of breast cancer services across the spectrum of disease. Over a two-year period, the KBCTF reviewed the state of breast cancer control in Kentucky and made recommendations for reducing breast cancer morbidity and mortality. To achieve the provision of optimal breast cancer care, the KBCTF recommended universal adoption of professionally accepted guidelines for breast cancer treatment, pain management, and distress management. To better coordinate public education on breast cancer, the KBCTF recommended the development of a standardized packet of public education materials for dissemination through regional networks of "cancer control partners." KBCTF members also requested the Kentucky Cancer Program to investigate the feasibility of establishing a centralized mammography registry to gather more complete data on screening mammography programs.
