Abstract
"I n a recent study from Quebec,1 Nancy Mayo and colleagues reported that the waiting times for definitive breast cancer surgery in the province increased 37% between 1992 and 1998, a deterioration they postulate may have resulted from an increased incidence of breast cancer and operating room closures as a result of health care restructuring. The last year of their study period (1998) coincides roughly with the introduction of organized breast cancer screening in Quebec. From their data, it appears that, from 1992 to 1997, the rate of increase in the number of breast cancer surgeries and the median waiting time was relatively steady, at about 4%–5% per year, whereas in 1998 both figures increased threefold. One wonders whether the province’s health care system was unable to deal with the sudden rise in breast cancer cases resulting from the screening program."
