The Sloane Project
The Sloane Project is a UK wide prospective audit of screen detected
non-invasive and atypical hyperplasias of the breast. All UK NHS
Breast Screening Units are invited to participate.
It is a multi-disciplinary project involving radiologists,
pathologists, surgeons and oncologists. The data for the project are
being collected by way of specifically designed data collection
forms for each professional group, which will provide full and
detailed information about the patients' journey from diagnosis to
treatment. It is being administered through the West Midlands Cancer
Intelligence Unit in collaboration with the Association of Breast
Surgery at BASO.
The Sloane Project is named after the late Professor John Sloane, a
prominent pathologist who worked at the Royal Liverpool Infirmary,
and had a great interest in the pathology of Ductal Carcinoma in
situ (DCIS).
The NHS Breast Screening Programme (NHSBSP) and Pfizer
Pharmaceuticals have previously provided funding for
the audit, the
latter through an unrestricted educational grant.
Breast Cancer Research Trust are now funding the
project via a three year project grant, which
commenced in January 2008.
