Ductal Carcinoma in situ (DCIS) Ductal cancer cells Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is the most common type of non-invasive breast cancer Normal ductal cell
DCIS
Invasive Ductal Carcinoma (IDC – 80% of breast cancer) Ductal cancer cells breaking through the wall The cancer has spread to the surrounding tissues Carcinoma refers to any cancer that begins in the skin or other tissues that cover internal organs
Clock Face Model This schematic drawing demonstrates the four quadrants of the breast: upper inner quadrant (UIQ), upper outer quadrant (UOQ), lower inner quadrant (LIQ), and lower outer quadrant (LOQ). The clock face model is superimposed on the four quadrant model to demonstrate how each breast is subdivided within the quadrant model.

Bi-RADS BI-RADS : Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System Established by the American College of Radiology Putting the findings from mammogram screening (breast cancer diagnosis) into a small number of well-defined categories
BI-RADS
Nottingham Grade Different "scoring systems" available for determining the grade of a breast cancer Nottingham Histologic Score system Three factors that the pathologists take into consideration: The amount of gland formation ("differentiation" or how well the tumor cells try to recreate normal glands) The nuclear features ("pleomorphism" or how "ugly" the tumor cells look) The mitotic activity (how much the tumor cells are dividing)
Nottingham Grade Each of these features is scored from 1-3 Final total score ranging from 3-9 The final total score is used to determine the grade: Grade 1 tumors have a score of 3-5 Grade 2 tumors have a score of 6-7 Grade 3 tumors have a score of 8-9 Higher the value the worse prognosis

Close follow up vs. mastectomy? Axillary mass out by now, no palpable breast mass
10/10/2016 Left modified radical mastectomy Left axillary lymph node dissection Excision of left axillary biopsy scar site
Mod radical: removes the entire breast — including the breast tissue, skin, areola and nipple — and most of the underarm (axillary) lymph nodes. Simple: just breast Radical mastectomy is a surgical procedure in which the breast, underlying chest muscle (including pectoralis major and pectoralis minor), and lymph nodes of the axilla are removed as a treatment for breast cancer.
Procedure Levels 1, 2, and 3 lymph nodes were palpated and sent to pathology as well as the Rotter's node A 10 cm JP drain was placed in the inferior border of the mastectomy cavity and a 7 cm JP drain was placed in the axilla and sutured in place with 3-0 Vicryl suture.

Treatment Post-op care: further workup (PET/CT)? Adjuvant systemic therapy? Postmastectomy chest wall RT ? We recommend that all women with axillary nodal metastases and an occult primary breast cancer undergo systemic adjuvant therapy according to published guidelines for stage II primary breast cancer (Grade 1B)-strong recommend-
