Q

Guidelines for cervical cancer screening

A
  • 21 to 29: pap q 3 years
  • 30 to 65 pap+co HPV test q 5 years or pap q 3 years

A
  • pregnancy at early age
  • high parity
  • late menses
  • early menopause
  • SERMs or NSAIDs
24
Q

Nutritional recommendation to prevent breast cancer

A

Do not drink alcohol (smoking doesn’t matter)

25
Q

Tdap vaccination for 19-64

A

Tdap should replace Td if these pts have not received Tdap previously (<18)

26
Q

Obesity = excess estrogen

BMI > 30

A
  • at risk for breast cancer

- protective against menopausal Sx + osteoporosis

27
Q

Menopause

A

one year without menses
- avg age: 51
between ages 40-60 (earlier in smokers)

Increased risk of cardiovascular disease and osteoporosis (bc of estrogen deficient state)

28
Q

Perimenopause

A

2-8 years - irregular menses, can still get pregnant

29
Q

Perimenopausal Sx (4)

A
  • irregular menses
  • hot flashes
  • vaginal dryness (water lubricant)
  • mood swings
30
Q

Bone health recommendations

A

1000 mg of calcium for pre menopausal
1200 mg of calcium for post menopausal

Dietary = 3 to 4 servings of dairy

However, increased Ca puts pt at risk for CV disease and kidney stones - currently USPSTF recommends against Ca and Vit D supplementation in healthy pre or post menopausal women

31
Q

Recommendation to avoid osteoporosis

A
  • increase dairy intake

- include weight bearing exercises such as walking into daily routine

32
Q

Osteoporosis screening

A

> 65: DEXA scan

<65: DEXA scan if risk of fracture is = to 65 year old without risk factors (9.3% in 10 years)

33
Q

RFs for osteoporosis (8)

A
  1. Low estrogen state
  2. Decreased calcium in diet
  3. Lack of physical activity
  4. Dementia
  5. Family Hx of osteoporotic fracture
  6. Personal hx of previous fracture as an adult
  7. Smoking
  8. Weight
34
Q

Elevated BMI at risk for (6)

A
  • hypertension
  • coronary artery disease
  • stroke
  • osteoarthritis
  • type 2 diabetes
  • some cancer
35
Q

Dietary guidelines on exercise

A

75 minutes of vigorous intensity or 150 minutes of moderate intensity/week
+ muscle strengthening 2x/week
Double for more extensive benefits

36
Q

Smoking cessation strategies (9)

A
  • Setting a quit date
  • nicotine replacement
  • support group
  • 1-800-QUIT-NOW
  • Choosing an activity to substitute for smoking (e.g., taking a walk or chewing sugarless gum when the urge to smoke occurs)
  • Making a list of the reasons why it is important to quit smoking and keeping it handy to refer to
  • Keeping track of where, when, and why you smoke (identify triggers)
  • Throwing away all tobacco and smoking paraphernalia
  • Medication
37
Q

One in __ women will have breast cancer before they are __ years old

A

8, 80

38
Q

Mammography can identify breast cancer ___ to ___ years before detectable on exam

A

1 to 2 years

39
Q

Adequate cervical specimen

A

Contains 5000 squamous cells
Has sufficient endocervical cells (columnar epithelial cells just proximal to squamo columnar junction at site of beginning dysplastic changes)

40
Q

Bethesda cytology categories for cervical cancer

A

ASC: atypical squamous cells
LSIL: low grade squamous intra epithelial lesion
HSIL: high grade squamous intra epithelial lesion
Squamous cell carcinoma

41
Q

3 vaccines for HPV - give all before sexual debut or shortly thereafter. All are 3 doses

A
  1. Gardasil: quadravalent recombinant DNA (HPV4)
  2. Cervarix: bivalent vaccine (HPV2)
  3. Gardasil 9
42
Q

Gardasil

A

6, 11 (genital warts)
16, 18 (most cervical cancer)

females & males 9-26

43
Q

Cervarix

A

16, 18 (most cervical cancers)
31, 45

females 9-25

44
Q

Gardasil 9

A

6, 11 (genital warts)
16, 18 (most cervical cancer)
31, 33, 45, 52, 58 (15% of cervical cancer)

females & males 9-26

45
Q

Only screen for ovarian cancer in symptomatic patient:

A

Bimanual exam
Place non gloved hand on abdomen superior to symphysis pubis and feel for uterus between two hands, then move pelvic hand to each lateral fornix and try to capture each between the hands

Ovaries are usually palpable in slender women and not palpable in obese women

46
Q

Mammography benefits

A

Good screening test that can detect asymptomatic early stage disease

47
Q

Sensitivity of mammography

A

60-90%

Low sensitivity = mroe false negative results

48
Q

False negative mammography results are more common in

A

younger women because they have denser breast tissue

49
Q

Radiation exposure in mammography

A

is negligible

50
Q

Breast MRI

A

Not recommended for screening in general population of asymptomatic, average risk women

51
Q

Breast MRI indications

A
  • surveillance of women more than 20% lifetime risk of breast cancer (genetic predisposition, mantle radiation for Hodgkin’s disease)
  • diagnostic tool to identify more completely extent of disease in pt w recent breast cancer diagnosis
  • contrast enhanced breast MRI in evaluation of women with breast augmentation in whom mammography is difficult
52
Q

Breast ultrasound

A

Not recommended for screening purposes

- used for evaluation of suspected abnormalities

53
Q

ASC + but HPV negative
