To provide state-of-the-art patient-centered care to women diagnosed with breast cancer, adoption and adherence to structured treatment algorithms, protocols, and international guidelines are essential. In this review, we endeavor to audit breast cancer care at our tertiary cancer center against published EUSOMA guidelines. This was a retrospective study with an observational design. All patients who completed recommended treatment for breast diseases at our institute from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2018 were included and evaluated. Data were retrieved from patient e-prescriptions and medical records. Analysis was performed using Microsoft Office 2010 to measure how our practices compared to EUSOMA quality indicators (QIs). Clinical assessments, imaging, and preoperative work-up of breast cancer patients met EUSOMA standards. Prognostic and predictive characterization of tumors was performed in all cases. Surgical management of invasive cancer and ductal carcinoma\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">in situ<\/jats:italic>\n                    (DCIS) was in accordance with the guidelines. Adherence to postoperative radiation and adjuvant endocrine therapy was adequate. More mastectomies were performed in patients with invasive cancers measuring &lt;3 cm. Overtreatment was avoided in every other subgroup. Adjuvant and neoadjuvant chemotherapy and targeted adjuvant therapy were adequately utilized unlike neoadjuvant targeted therapy. Minimal attrition was noted in patient follow-up. This extensive audit has set a benchmark for future annual audits and helped highlight areas where improvement of service delivery is needed.\n
