Abstract

Introduction: The VACE pathway was introduced at St Georges Hospital in 2015. The first year’s data was presented at the Association of Breast Surgery (ABS) Conference in 2017. 93 patients were managed by VACE resulting in 17 patients being upgraded to cancer. The complexity of the pathway resulted in three patients breaching the 62 day cancer target. The longest interval in the pathway was between core biopsy and VACE. In response, VACE capacity was increased and earlier MDT discussions were introduced. This is a re-audit of our outcomes following these changes. We also present our first patient satisfaction survey results.
