10 RISK

11 Can I Modify My Patient’s Breast Cancer Risk ? 1.Yes 2.No 3.Sometimes 4.Don’t know

16 MENOCAL Vit D and Calcium CALCIFEROL 50 000iu

17 Screening / Surveillance Use Gail Model to assess risk www.cancer.gov.brisktool

18 Average Risk ≤1.7% risk in 5 years

19 Risk Management and Surveillance

20 Is It worth Doing a Surveillance Mammogram ? 1.Never 2.Only with strong Family History 3.Over 50 years in most patients 4.Over 40 years in most patients

21 Should I teach my patients BSE? 1.No, does not improve mortality rates 2.Yes, may help

23

24 Screening / Surveillance contd Normal Risk >20 to 40: CBE each 1 to 3 years >/=40: CBE and ? Mammo annually (share decision-making) 50-69: CBE annually and mammo every year or 2 years >/=70Continue while life expectancy ≥ 7 to 10y

25 Screening / Surveillance contd High Risk High risk women should have screening recommendation from a specialist o LCIS o Previous breast cancer o Strong family history breast, ovary, prostate Consider genetic counselling

26 When Is It Worth Doing Gene Testing? 1.Everyone who can afford it 2.5% risk of carrying gene 3.10% risk 4.20% risk 5.50% risk

27 Screening / Surveillance contd High Risk High risk woman should have screening recommendation from a specialist o LCIS o Previous breast cancer o Strong family history breast, ovary, prostate Consider genetic counselling

28 Questions?

29 Diagnosis

30 Early Diagnosis of Breast Cancer Never ignore complaint/ finding of a lump Investigate change in one breast Inflammatory Ca (or recurrence of Ca) may mimic cellulitis – looks like inflammation Cancer may mimic an abscess

31 Early Diagnosis of Breast Cancer cont’d Suspicious signs: Skin dimpling Nipple discharge Change in shape or appearance of breast Axillary glands New nipple inversion

32 Early Diagnosis of Breast Cancer cont’d PREGNANCY DOES NOT PRECLUDE BREAST CANCER

33 Tests Imaging before biopsy Mammo +/- ultrasound (or ultrasound only <35)

34 Aspiration of a Breast Lump

35 Tests cont’d Biopsies Must be experienced operator with training and regular practice Radiologist Pathologist at FNAC clinic GSH (4045292) Surgeon

36 Management of Findings cont’d Err on the side of caution Must find a reason for a breast lump Refer to a surgeon or oncologist if cancer or suspicion of cancer (surgeon)
