It is now accepted that the treatment of cancer patients in dedicated units or areas that can provide integrated multidisciplinary breast paths can offer a better outcome in terms of commitment of resources, cost savings and reduction of waiting times for ' intervention. As with other neoplastic and non-achievement of the performance depends directly on the quality of treatment. In addition to the indispensable training process is necessary to have specific skills whose acquisition is due to the maintenance of an adequate level of performance (number of cases per year). Literature data show that in fact the survival of patients is influenced by the surgeon performing the operation on the basis of its experience and number of operated cases in one year. Of course, the proposed model can not ignore the creation of a monitoring and verification of quality of place. Necessary to define objective criteria to be used as indicators of treatment efficacy and quality of service provided. Many associations dealing with the treatment of breast cancer have already done to define these indicators and to determine the values of the reference standard.

These data were reported in the annual report produced in the mammography screening program for early detection of breast cancer. In particular, during the observation period there has been a gradual but steady increase in conservative surgery compared with a simultaneous reduction mastectomy. A definite fall of the conservative mode, not motivated by the characteristics of the treated tumors, it has instead highlighted in the age group above 70 years. The analysis of data on populations observed yields comparable to some clinical characteristics of patients and organization of the center operating, there has been a statistically significant difference in the treatment of patients screened compared to the remaining regional population. In general, the IMPACT study data show that, the observed patient, has gradually reduced over the years considered the possibility of a woman suffering from breast cancer at an early stage of being subjected to total mastectomy procedure (RR = 0.41) and suggest that this result has contributed significantly to the anticipation and decisive diagnosis achieved through screening mammography program.
