Q

Colon CA

Risk factors

A

Age>50*
long standing UC&Crohns >8yr
1st deg relatives with colon CA
h/o other CA (breast, ovarian, endometrial)
Familial polyposis (gardners, familiar adenomatous polyposis highest risk (5Q- gene abnormality)
Hereditary non polyposis colono CA (HNPCC)
Adenomas –> next colonoscopy in 3 years if > or + 1 cm or 3 or more polyps

<60 1st degree relative–> 40 yrs + every 5 yrs
2 1st degree relatives –> 40 yrs + every 5 yrs
1 1st degree relative –> 40yrs + every 10 yrs

Q

Decrease risk colon CA:

A

ASA >20yrs
Celecoxib & sulindac–> decrease load of polyps in colon
estrogens

colon cancer usually arises from adenomas
hyperplastic polyp has no malignant potential!

Risk factors for breast CA

A

Female >50yo
Personal hx breast CA
strong Fhx pre-menopausal breast CA
Genetic BRCA 1+2

Other risk factors:
personal h/o ovarian CA or endometrial CA
dense breasts
OCPs>15yrs.

Screening:

  • women >50yrs OR <5-10yrs prior to age in 1st deg relative w/ breast Ca and then q 2 yrs
  • 10% of breast Ca found on PE is missed by mammogram
  • BRCA 1: Chrom 17; breast, ovarian cancer in women and prostate cancer in men. High penetrance. Other family members should be aware. (MRI every year)
  • BRCA 2: chrom 13
  • TP53 mutation: breast cancer with other cancers in family at younger age; brain, leukemias, and sarcomas.

Q

Tamoxifen

A
  • decreases risk of new breast CA
  • effective for tx metastatic breast CA
  • works only if tumor ER & PR+
  • effective in preventing cancer in high risk women
  • tamoxifen has both estrogenic and anti estrogenic effects

Anti-estrogenic Effect:

  • anti breast tumor effect , hence used in tx
  • Menopausal symptoms (tx with venlafaxine)

Estrogenic effect:

  • inc risk of endometrial CA x 3x–> screen by asking if has gyn symptoms
  • inc bone density
  • inc thromboembolic risk/PE***

If there is contraindication to tamoxifen, then ovarian ablation or suppression an be done.
