You may qualify if…

• I. Health care providers: Health care providers (regardless of age, gender or race/ethnicity) in participating WCHQ practices who will provide breast cancer care to about 9,000 women who had an incident breast cancer surgery between 2014-2017.
• II. Patients: Medicare and Marketscan women who had an incident breast cancer surgery between 2014-2017. No exclusions will be made by age or race/ethnicity. The focus on women is dictated by the very low prevalence of breast cancer among men.
• Identification of incident breast cancer surgery in these datasets will be done using a validated algorithm developed by Nattinger et al.

You may not qualify if…

• Male patients are excluded from this analysis due to the low prevalence of breast cancer among males.
