BREAST CANCER AWARENESS
Angelina Jolie’s Story Helps Raise Awareness
for Breast Cancer Genetic Testing
A Q&A with Dr. Dennis Holmes

since actress Angelina Jolie decided to
undergo a preventive double mastectomy after learning she was a carrier of a
breast cancer gene mutation, called
BRCA 1.
Q: How common is the BRCA gene
mutation?
Dr. Holmes: BRCA mutations occur in
about 1 out of every 500 women in
the general population. On average,
BRCA 1 mutations are associated with
an 80 percent lifetime risk of breast
cancer and a 40 percent lifetime risk
of ovarian cancer. BRCA 2 mutations
have a slightly lower risk of 60 percent lifetime risk of breast cancer and
25 percent lifetime risk of ovarian
cancer, but are also associated with an
increased lifetime risk of melanoma,
pancreatic cancer, male breast cancer
and prostate cancer. BRCA mutation
carriers are also more likely to be
diagnosed with breast cancer in their
30s and 40s as opposed to after age 50
for most non-mutation carriers.
Q: What role does family history play?
Dennis Holmes, MD
Q: What can you share about genetic testing for women who may be predisposed
for breast cancer?
Dr. Holmes: This topic has been widely
discussed in the media for the past year
Dr. Holmes: One critically important
message that comes from Jolie’s story
is the importance of paying attention
to your family’s cancer history, both
maternal and paternal, since it influences your own cancer risk. Jolie’s
mother had ovarian cancer and provided a clear sign that BRCA gene
testing should be considered.
Similarly, if you have a family or personal history of breast cancer diagnosed before age 50, ovarian cancer,
or breast cancer in a male relative,
you should speak with your doctor
about your family history and seek
BRCA testing if you meet criteria. All
that is required is a simple blood or
Jolie’s particularly genetic circumstances made a double mastectomy a
reasonable personal decision for her
due to her high risk of developing
breast cancer as she grows older.
What one can learn most from Jolie’s
decision is that her diagnosis of a
BRCA 1 mutation and her decision to

mouthwash test that is covered by
most insurance carriers.
Q: What do you think of Angelina
Jolie’s decision to undergo a double
mastectomy?
Dr. Holmes: No doubt, the decision to
undergo preventive double mastectomy was a difficult one for Jolie. But a
word of caution is in order. Jolie’s
decision should not be heard by the
general public as a call for double
mastectomy for the average woman.
undergo preventive double mastectomy came before she was ever diagnosed with breast cancer. This is the
greatest value of BRCA testing
because empowers BRCA-mutations
carriers to take control of their own
health destiny by allowing them to
opt for preventive surgery or
increased surveillance. By going public with her story, Angelina Jolie not
only inspires other women but she
has shared a tremendous gift with
women and men who until now may
have been unaware of this condition.

Every Woman, Every Time: 3D Breast Imaging at
Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center
REAST cancer is a devastating disease that has claimed far too
many of our mothers and grandmothers, sisters and daughters, friends
and family members. At Pomona Valley
Hospital Medical Center (PVHMC), the
staff is committed to saving more lives
by making the most advanced 3D breast
imaging technology available to all
patients, regardless of income or insurance coverage. In fact, PVHMC is the
only hospital in Los Angeles County
that offers 3D mammograms to every
patient, every time.
As part of its commitment, PVHMC
offers 3D mammograms to uninsured
patients for just $100. And during the
month of October, in honor of Breast
Cancer Awareness Month, it has lowered the cost to $50 so no one has to
put off this potentially lifesaving screening. There has never been a better time
to take charge of your health.
Early detection is crucial to improving survival rates for women, and
advanced imaging technology has made
early-stage diagnosis much more common. In fact, since 1990 the mortality
rate for breast cancer has declined by 34
percent due largely to improved technology, according to the American
Cancer Society. Yet the two-dimensional
machines that have gotten us this far
still present challenges, even with the
B
advent of digital technology: tumors
have to be a certain size to be detected,
and false positives are prevalent, leading
to stressful situations when the resolution isn’t high enough to distinguish
between harmless changes and cancerous tissue.
With 3D imaging, which gained FDA
approval in 2011, clinicians can now
see even smaller tumors more clearly,
while reducing the number of false positives. A recent study published in the
Journal of the American Medical
Association showed a 41 percent
increase in the diagnosis of invasive
breast cancer and a 15 percent drop in
“call backs” – incidents when women
are called in for additional testing to
evaluate suspicious results.
At PVHMC’s own facilities, where it
has had all-3D machines for several
years, there has been a 40 percent reduction in callbacks. This technology has
saved hundreds of women from the
stress and anxiety of inconclusive results.
For women who are diagnosed with
cancer, PVHMC’s ability to get clearer
images of new cancer growth often
means less invasive surgery, fewer
rounds of chemotherapy or radiation,
and more healthy years with loved
ones. More studies and clinical trials
need to be conducted to see how the
new imaging equipment affects long-

term outcomes, but in the short-term,
PVHMC is already seeing significant
benefits to its patients.
The team at PVHMC believes that
everyone deserves the highest standard of
care. That’s why PVHMC guarantees that
all women who visit one of its three
imaging centers in Pomona, Chino Hills
or Claremont will have access to this
state-of-the-art technology – no doctor
referral required – and why it charges
only $100 to patients who lack insurance.
PVHMC also recognizes that even a
diagnosis with a positive prognosis is
frightening, and the team is prepared
with support services every step of the
way. The certified Breast Health Nurse
Coordinator guides patients through
the entire journey, scheduling all
appointments for surgery, radiology,
chemotherapy, testing and check-ins
while also collaborating with doctors,
offering education and emotional support and answering every question
along the way. Patients are never alone.
PVHMC’s nurse coordinator can also
arrange for patients to take part in the
many wellness programs offered,
including healing arts like acupressure,
creative expression, and Eastern movement, exercise classes like yoga and
stretching, and a free makeover program co-sponsored by The American
Cancer Society, the Cosmetic, Toiletry
and Fragrance Association and the
National Cosmetology Association. The
Center even has a salon that provides a
wig for any woman who has lost her
hair due to cancer therapy whether she
is a PVHMC patient or not.
PVHMC is committed to all the
women in its community, who deserve
the very best care and the opportunity
to live long, healthy, cancer-free lives.
Whether you or a loved one has postponed a mammogram because you can’t
afford the screening, or you’ve yet to
schedule your exam because you were
nervous about the process, PVHMC is
here to assist you. Call the Breast Health
Center at (909) 784-1563 to schedule a

Providence Provides the Latest Science and
Technology to Help Manage Breast Health
HIS time of year, those pink ribbons are everywhere – on Tshirts, peanut butter jars and rear
bumpers. Breast cancer, whispered
about a generation ago, is now one of
the more curable cancers thanks to regular screenings to detect cancer at its
earliest stages, and the latest technology
to treat it.
At Providence Health & Services,
breast health takes a team approach –
beginning with stressing the importance of self-examination and screenings such as regular, age-appropriate
mammograms.
Providence medical centers offer digital mammography for the clearest
images and our experts work together to
read those images to determine if there
are any irregularities. Providence cancer
centers have invested in the latest technology to treat breast cancer and nurse
navigators are there to provide compassionate guidance.
Close to one in eight women in the
U.S. will be diagnosed with breast cancer. And their survival increases exponentially with early detection. Because
family history is significant,
Providence provides genetic testing to
help women, and men, know their
risk, and that of their children, too.

A Virtual Integrated Health System Approach
By BRADLEY SCHMIDT
Health Systems (IHS), such
as Kaiser-Permanente, are the obvious
goal of healthcare. The coordination
of care, under one IT umbrella system,
allows for birth-to-death care with a single
point of medical contact for better clinical
supervision and improved efficiency. Yet,
IHSs aren’t necessarily scalable, can cost
billions to implement and are not available in all areas. Central Los Angeles
County, with its 5,000,000+ population
size, has few IHS options yet is home to
patients that most need coordinated care.
How then, will access to integrated care
be delivered to the community in need
when there is a void of health systems
physically located in the community? I
contend, a virtual integrated health system, in conjunction with leading local
MD’s and IPA’s, are the answer.
I
NTEGRATED
Pioneering a Virtual Health Platform
Virtual integrated health is something
Inglewood Imaging Center pioneered in
LA County developing some of the first
radiology-to-EMR (electronic medical
records) partnerships in the USA to better
connect patients, MD’s, treating facilities
and IPA’s by partnering with independent
EMR vendors frequently used in the community. EMR’s, rapidly adopted by MD’s
in the USA following the implementation
of the 2009 American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act, provide incentive payments to eligible professionals, hospitals,
and critical access hospitals (CAHs) as they
adopt, upgrade or demonstrate meaningful use of certified EMR technology.
IIC realized EMR’s could hold the key
as the future of healthcare coordination
outside the conventional IHS ecosystem
model particularly for leading independent physician associations (IPAs). Yet
there was a key challenge, of the 658
EMR vendors certified since virtually
none of them “spoke” to each other.
Therefore, Inglewood Imaging developed
some strategic early partnerships with
EMR vendors to develop secure interface
connections that allow fluency between
the fragmented IT platforms.
Benefits to MD, Insurance and Patient
One of the immediate benefits noticed
in a virtual IHS environment was how
streamlined care became for the very
busy ordering MD. In the past, final
results were faxed, collated, scanned,
attached, and uploaded into a medical
chart. IIC’s virtual approach routes
reports electronically, allowing all
administrative work to be automated and
enabling MD’s to receive our results
inside their EMR inbox in as little as 30
minutes. Reports are never lost. Each
report also allows access to our “cloud
image” web viewer which enables MD’s
to view images for better coordination.
Cost containment for IPAs and insurance payors are another benefit to a virtual approach as an estimated $30 billion is
wasted annually due to inappropriate
exam utilization and duplication of radiology studies necessitated by lost images
or reports. Quality scorecards, vitally
important in today’s care, can also be
measured that allow a balance of cost and
quality not previously available. Health
Information Exchange (HIE), once universally adopted in LA County, can also easily receive a copy of our virtual record to
ensure a continuity of care countywide
should a patient appear unexpectedly at
the office of another care provider.
The final benefit to virtual health is
connecting the patient through a patient
health record in collaboration with their
primary care physician. All “meaningful
use” EMR’s are required to have a patient
portal to instantly access a patient’s
results, track healthcare costs, locate a
MD and schedule appointment, allowing
a patient more power to manage their
personal health records and share information with his primary care physician.
Looking Through a Radiology Lens
Since cancer imaging is a priority for
Inglewood Imaging, collaborating virtually with all the independent MD’s, cancer
centers, hospitals and treating oncologists
is tremendously important. Our medical
oncologists receive EMR results via a
Please join us as we unveil the
secure interface. Surgeons receive
images through our PACS-cloud hyperlink portal if surgery is required.
Radiation oncologists receive images that
can be imported into their targeted cancer treatment planning software to better
pinpoint radiotherapy and IPAs can
supervise care through a primary care
physician to ensure appropriate protocol
and communication is maintained.
Summary
IH Systems understand change is necessary, which is why innovative new programs such as Anthem’s Vivity, accountable care program, integrating seven different fragmented health systems, might
be very promising. Yet very often novel
programs don’t reach the patient population that needs the care most.
Ultimately I believe there will be a closer collaboration between the “virtual” and
“integrated” health systems, with someone like IIC operating in a similar role to
Southwest Airlines, connecting advanced
care back to a larger network as needed.
Until this happens we are excited to be
delivering transformative care through a
virtual network to provide state-of-the-art
assistance to the 1,100 MD’s and 70 insurance plans we are honored to serve.
