54. The Breast Health Global Initiative (BHGI) strives to
develop, implement and study evidence-based,
economically feasible, and culturally appropriate
guidelines for international breast health and
cancer control for low and middle income
countries to improve breast health outcomes.

57. Basic level — Core resources or fundamental services
necessary for any breast health care system to function.
Limited level — Second-tier resources or services that
produce major improvements in outcome such as survival.
Enhanced level — Third-tier resources or services that are
optional but important, because they increase the number
and quality of therapeutic options and patient choice.
Maximal level — Highest-level resources or services used in
some high resource countries that have lower priority on

the basis of extreme cost and/or impracticality.

conservation surgery, needle sampling for
diagnosis, sentinel node biopsy and oncoplastic
surgery
Improvements in LMCs require adaptation to
existing resources and require coordination of
surgery with other disciplines
