“…Virtually all studies listed in Table 2 took account of the characteristics of patients [10, 29-39, 41-51, 53-61, 63-65], half considered characteristics of hospitals other than volume [10, 33-39, 41-44, 46, 51, 52, 55, 56, 61, 63, 64], but only a minority adjusted for the caseload [10,29,42,50,54,56,57,61] or some other characteristics of the attending physician [10,34,35,37,38,42,43,47,56,61,65]. Treatment was taken into account as adjustment variable in a few papers [10,29,44,48,53,57,58].…”

“…For example, seven reports found no association with survival [10,30,31,40,44,57,58], whereas three showed better survival in large centres, [48,53,56]. A very large study on 29,666 cases registered to the Cancer Surveillance Program database for Los Angeles County between 1990 and 1998 adjusted for characteristics of the hospital, as well as specialization and caseload of the attending physician, and concluded that survival was more likely with treatment in large hospitals [56].…”

For many health conditions, the process or result of medical procedures improves with increasing caseload. The evidence about breast cancer has not been thoroughly assessed. This review synthesizes the literature about provider's volume and performance in either breast cancer screening with mammography or treatment. Articles published in English between 1990 and 2006 were identified by a computerized search and by review of reference lists. In screening with mammography, the reading volume of the radiologist and the screening volume of the facility influence different components of performance. The most conclusive evidence for breast cancer treatment concerns the association between the surgeon's caseload and the process or end-results of therapeutic interventions. Although the mechanisms of these associations still need to be clarified, large provider's volume in screening mammography or breast cancer treatment is often related to the quality of medical interventions.

“…Self-efficacy is the foundation of Bandura's social cognitive theory [11,12], and is important for the promotion of positive youth development. Despite growing research literature on self-efficacy in children and adolescents, the vast majority of this research has been based on North American and European samples (e.g, Muris, 2001Muris, , 2002Suldo & Shaffer, 2007).…”

“…There are different treatments for breast cancer, including surgery, radiotherapy, adjuvant therapy (hormone therapy and chemotherapy) and ovariectomy [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21]. Surgical treatment may be done as protective breast surgery, removal of lymph nodes and the breast (mastectomy) (Iranian Journal of Breast Diseases, 1389).…”

Aim: In the Present study the expected outcome of the mastectomy compared with perceived treatment outcomes based on self-efficacy in women with breast cancer. Method: In the current study, 300 female patients with breast cancer were studied before and after mastectomy using the general self-efficacy scale and expectancy outcome incongruence. Results: The finding yielded that there was significant difference between patients with the high and low self-efficacy based on the expectation of the result of surgery and perceived outcome of surgery. Similarly there is significant difference between the level of disease progression based on the expectation of the surgery outcome and perceived outcome of surgery. In addition, there was significant difference between breast tumor size based on the expected outcome of surgical treatment and perceived outcome of surgery. There was significant difference between elderly and non-elderly women self-efficacy. Conclusions: Results show the higher level of self-efficacy can be useful in establishing primary social adjustment but lead to underestimate the negative effects of surgery.

“…Lack of mention of a variable was accepted as evidence that it had not been noted. Bivariate analysis (t tests for continuous variables and chi-square tests for categorical variables) was used to determine differences between our subjects and another DVA cohort reported by Hynes et al 12 These subjects had breast cancer but had not been selected for any mental illnesses and comprised our control group. We modeled our data collection variables, assumptions, and definitions on this study before searching charts.…”
