A

Gender (males can have breast cancer)
increases with age
increases with estrogen levels
increased weight in postmenopausal women
early menacrch (period) longer to estrogen levels
late menopause- longer to estrogen levels
nulliparity- (condition of never giving birth)
having first child late
exposure of chest to radiation
hormone replacement
family history_ BRCA1 & 2
fibrocystic disease
cancer in another breast or uterus

23

A

Bone, liver, brain, lung

24
Q

What is the most common malignancy in women in the US

A

Breast Cancer

25
Clinical presentation of Breast Cancer
Breast mass (mammogram) Nipple discharge Skin changes- peau d'orange/skin erythema Alteration in breast contour Lymphadenopathy- axillary, supraclavicular
26
Detection and Diagnosis of breast cancer
``` mammography- screening avg. 40-54 every year/ high risk MRI mammo starting at the age of 30 Ultrasound MRI Clinical examination Self breast exam Biopsy ```
27
Breast Cancer Histology
Invasive ductal carcinoma- originates in ductal Carcinoma in situ Invasive lobular carcinoma- originates in glands or lobules
28
Breast Cancer Prognosis- Receptor Status ER
+ better prognosis
29
Breast Cancer Prognosis- Receptor Status PR
+ better prognosis
30
Breast Cancer Prognosis- Receptor Status HER2
overexpression poor prognosis | poorly differentiated
31
Breast Cancer Prognosis- Receptor Status Triple negative breast cancer
worse prognosis for receptor status
32
Treatment for Breast Cancer (Surgery)
Surgery- breast conserving surgery mastectomy lumpectomy (excisional biopsy) removal of tumor with margin of normal appearing tissue sentinel lymph node biopsy axillary dissection- removal of a sample of axillary nodes
33
Treatment for Breast Cancer (combination treatments)
Radiation therapy chemotherapy hormonal therapies
34
What is the number one procedure that detects Cervical Cancer
Pap Smear- fist signs of dysplasia
35
What procedure is conducted after the pap smear comes back abnormal?
Colposcopy
36
What is the most common histology in Cervical Cancer
Squamous Cell Carcinoma- originates in squamous cell exocervix
37
True or False Squamous Cell Carcinoma is worst than Adenocarcinoma in Cervical Cancer
False- Adenocarcinoma | Originates inside the endocervical mucus-producing gland cells
38
What are the Risk factors for Cervical Cancer
HPV (sub types 16 & 18) Responsible for 99% Multiple sexual partners, sex at early age Occurs more often in women over 50
39
What is the most common staging system for Cervical Cancer
FIGO (very similar to TNM)
40
What are ways Cervical Cancer spread
Direct extension to uterus, vagina, parametrium, abdomen, rectum, bladder, etc. Blood- most common to lungs, liver and bone
41
