ANNUAL REPORT
OSF Saint Anthony Medical Center
Patricia D. Pepe Center for Cancer Care
TO OUR COMMUNITY,
IT IS WITH GREAT PRIDE that we
share the 2015 annual report of the
OSF Saint Anthony Medical Center
Cancer Program, and showcase the
accomplishments of an eventful year.
Truly the highlight of the year was
the opening of the newly expanded
Patricia D. Pepe Center for Cancer Care
(CFCC) in late September 2015. This
15,000-square foot expansion and
3,000 square feet of renovated space
offers an effective, patient-centered
environment for providing the finest
possible diagnostic and treatment
services. This expansion would not
have been possible without the
generous support of the Pepe family.
Patricia Pepe was a patient at the
CFCC for 17 years, and is fondly
remembered for her smile, wit, and
determination, as well as for her and
her family’s generosity.
We obtained Quality Oncology Practice Initiative recertification from the
American Society of Clinical Oncology in February 2015 - only 267 certified
practices in the United States and 32 certified medical oncology practices in
Illinois have received this distinction. Additionally, the center was again
awarded the 2015 Women’s Choice Award.
Three nurses associated with the CFCC program; Peggy Malone, Penny Moore,
and Megan Zimmerlee, were recognized by their peers for extraordinary
performance in patient care, process improvement, and community service.
Navigation services were expanded to include our head and neck cancer
patients. Peggy Rogers graduated and was certified as a Nurse Practitioner,
and expanded her clinical and genetics program duties at the CFCC.
Weekly multidisciplinary tumor conferences continue as we hold ourselves
accountable to best practices and evidence-based guidelines, even as we
individualize the diagnosis and treatment design for each patient in the emerging
world of molecular oncology. We also continue to actively participate in the
Mayo Clinic Care Network electronic consultation service and at teleconference
tumor boards. OSF physicians presented 15 cases at eTumor conferences this
year, engaging the entire Mayo Network in collaborative diagnosis and
treatment design.
We know these achievements are not ours alone and wish to thank our many
mission partners, volunteers, supporters and donors who make this possible.
Everyone on the CFCC team looks forward to working together in the upcoming
years to advance the study and treatment of cancer even further.

CANCER REGISTRY
The Cancer Registry plays a vital role in maintaining
accreditation approval standards set by the American
College of Surgeons’ Commission on Cancer (CoC) since
1942. The registry utilizes a data system designed for the
collection, management, analysis, and reporting of clinical
cancer information on all inpatients and outpatients
diagnosed and/or treated for cancer at this facility.
As required by state law, registry data is reported to the
Illinois State Cancer Registry (ISCR) at the Illinois Department
of Public Health. Data is also submitted to the National
Cancer Database (NCDB) and the Facility Information Profile
System (FIPS) data-sharing project with the American
Cancer Society where it is used as a benchmarking tool.
The collected data on all cases maintained in the cancer
registry is available for use by the medical staff and other
healthcare professionals for special studies, reports and
CANCER CONFERENCE
Cancer conferences provide an open forum for
multidisciplinary presentations and discussions on various
treatment options and ultimately the determination of the
most appropriate patient management plan.
Weekly cancer conferences continued with enthusiasm
in 2014 and were extremely well-attended by the medical
staff. There were 48 Wednesday morning conferences,
which are approved and certified for AMA PRA Category
1 Credit™.
These convenient on-site educational opportunities for the
medical staff included diagnostic, pathologic and treatment
overviews on 237 cases. The most commonly presented
primary cancers were breast, head & neck, lung, lymphoma,
and melanoma. Physicians and health care professionals are
welcome to attend these meetings that enhance patient care.
research. Each patient entered in the registry database
is followed for life, with treatment and survival data then
being summarized and utilized at local, state and
national levels.
The registry is overseen by two certified tumor registrars
(CTRs) who are responsible for coordinating cancer
conferences, cancer committee meetings and the survey
process with the CoC, ensuring that each of the standards
are being met. The registry also assists with quality studies
and production and publication of the annual report. The
CTR’s are members of the Cancer Registrars of Illinois and
the National Cancer Registrars Association and participate
in educational events including attendance of a regional or
national conference to maintain certification status.
2014 STATISTICAL SUMMARY
Information obtained in demographics is important.
By understanding our patient population, OSF Saint Anthony
Medical Center is able to offer community education,

COLORECTAL CANCER
Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer
diagnosed in both men and women in the United States.
An estimated 136,830 new cases of colorectal cancer were
expected in 2014 according to the American Cancer Society.
In the state of Illinois, 5530 new cases were expected to be
diagnosed. The overall lifetime risk for developing colorectal
cancer is approximately 5%, or 1 in 20 Americans.
Care for patients with colorectal cancer extends well past
surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. Systematic staging,
pathology review, tumor analysis, evaluation for genetic
syndromes, coordination of concurrent and sequential
therapeutics, symptom management, and education and
support are all parts of the continuum care, and essential
for safety and best clinical outcomes.
The grouping “colorectal” cancer includes a cancer arising
in any segment of the colon (cecum, appendix, ascending
colon, hepatic flexure, transverse, splenic flexure,
descending colon, sigmoid colon), plus the rectum.
At the OSF Saint Anthony Medical Center, Patricia D. Pepe
Center for Cancer Care, all patients with colorectal cancer
meet with an oncology navigator at the time of initial
consultation. The navigators coordinate and expedite
referrals, but also screen patients for distress, uncontrolled
symptoms, historical features that might suggest genetic
syndromes, and for eligibility for clinical trials. Referrals are
then made as appropriate to our Genetics Program, the
Clinical Research Program, the Palliative Care Team, social
services, counseling, and support groups.
There are many known factors that increase the risk of
colorectal cancer; some of these factors are modifiable
while others are not.
To reduce your risk of colorectal cancer:
1. Get screened regularly.
2. Maintain a healthy weight throughout life.
3. Adopt a physically active lifestyle.
4. Consume a healthy diet with an emphasis on plant
sources; specifically:
• Choose foods and beverages in amounts that
help achieve and maintain a healthy weight.
• Limit consumption of red and processed meat.
• Eat at least 2½ cups of vegetables and fruits each day.
• Choose whole grains instead of refined grain
products.
5. If you drink alcoholic beverages, limit consumption.
6. Consume the recommended levels of calcium, primarily
through food sources.
7. Avoid tobacco products.
(Refer to the American Cancer Society for a detailed guide
of these individual risk factors)
Endoscopic ultrasound, CT, and MRI scanning for staging
and treatment planning, and PET scanning when indicated,
are used to accurately stage and optimally plan therapy.
All patients who receive chemotherapy as part of their
care are asked to participate in a formalized chemotherapy
education curriculum. Patients, along with their families
and other supportive persons, are engaged and encouraged
to ask questions, share concerns, and relate experiences.
Same day, one site, concurrent radiation and chemotherapy
are provided when indicated, in concordance with national
guidelines and evidence-based practice. For patients who
require a short-term or long-term ostomy, education and
support are available. Surgical support and interventions
include resection, initially or after neoadjuvant therapy,
and vascular access devices. Radiology provides
additional assistance with vascular access and both
diagnostic and therapeutic services.
Concordance with Evidence-Based Standards of Quality for
Colorectal Cancer Care
(Based on the NCDB Clinical Practice Profile Reports-2015)
What is measured?
OSF Performance Rates
Colon: Adjuvant chemotherapy is considered or 100%
administered within 120 days of diagnosis for patients
under the age of 80 with AJCC Stage III (lymph node
positive) colon cancer.
Rectum: Preoperative chemotherapy & radiation 100%
treatment are administered for clinical AJCC T3N0,
T4N0 or Stage III; or postoperative chemotherapy &
radiation treatment is considered; for patients under
age of 80 receiving resection
for rectal cancer.
Weekly multidisciplinary cancer
conferences are complemented by
participation in the Mayo Health
Network e-tumor conferences. In
addition, the Network provides for
e-consultation for patients who may
benefit from more formal review and
recommendations but not require
travel to Mayo.

GENETIC CANCER RISK
ASSESSMENT PROGRAM
Cancer genetics refers to the medical field that examines
the hereditary risks of specific cancers. OSF Saint Anthony
Medical Center, Patricia D. Pepe Center for Cancer Care
offers a cancer risk assessment program created to help
men and women with cancer in their family who may be
at increased risk for hereditary breast, ovarian and/or colon
cancer. This program offers one-on-one care and
consultation with our advanced practice nurse who
specializes in cancer genetics and medical oncologists –
Dr. Kent Hoskins and Dr. Shylendra Sreenivasappa.
The goal of cancer risk assessment is to improve health
outcomes and quality of life by tailoring cancer prevention
and screening activities to each person’s individual level of
risk. A variety of methods are used to perform genetic risk
assessment, including computer-based statistical models,
analysis of family history and other clinical characteristics that
might indicate an inherited predisposition to cancer, and in
some cases DNA testing to directly analyze genes that
predispose to cancer. Identifying individuals with an elevated
risk of developing cancer allows the team of specialists to
recommend clinical management strategies that prevent
cancer and improve early detection. In addition, knowledge
acquired during the risk assessment process enables
individuals to make more informed decisions about their
health and other important life decisions.
For individuals with cancer or those with a family history
of cancer, genetic counseling is available to determine if
genetic factors are contributing to cancer in their family.
Genetic counseling also includes discussion of risk-reduction
strategies, specialized screening test, and the availability of
genetic testing. The risk assessment team will provide an
estimate of a person’s risk for specific cancers based upon
age, family history and other risk factors.
For further information about the program please
contact Peggy Rogers, APN at (815) 227-2265.
