1. Female Reproductive Anatomy Breasts
Two glandular structures that produce milk for a newborn in response to hormonal secretion and stimulation of the infant sucking.
This process is called lactation.
You will need to be able to define and identify the yellow terms throughout the presentation.

2. Anatomy of the Breasts Color what we know:
Ribs & Clavicle (A) leave white
Intercostal muscles (B) pink
Pectoralis major muscle (C) pink
Superficial Fascia (Adipose tissue, E) yellow

3. Breast Growth in Puberty
Suspensory Ligaments – support adipose tissue by connecting from the pect muscle to the skin; run through the superficial fascia (fat) that enlarges in pubescent females thus determining breast size.
Color (F) pink

4. Breast Growth in Puberty
Lactiferous Duct – undeveloped in male and non-lactating/pregnant female.
Carry milk to nipple in pregnant females
Color (H) green
Lactiferous Sinus – holds milk ready for secretion
Nipple – site of milk secretion
Color (J) blue
Areola – pigmented circular area surrounding the nipple
Color (K) purple

5. Breast Growth in Pregnancy
Glandular Lobe – expand with the production of milk in lactating females during the latter stages of pregnancy.
Production is at its peak just after pregnancy
Color (G) orange

6. What is Breast Cancer (CA)?
Malignant CA cells form in the tissues of the breast.
Group of cancer cells that invade surrounding tissues or spread (metastasize) to other areas.
7 types of Breast CA
Most common:
Infiltrating Ductal Carcinoma (IDC) =
78% of all malignancies

7. What are risk factors? ½ of all women dx are 65+ y/o
Overweight or obesity
2+ alcoholic drinks/d
Family hx
Taking birth control pills for 10+ years
only for women <35 y/o

8. What are s/s of BC? Change in how the breast or nipple feels.
Tenderness, lump, or thickening in or near the breast/underarm area
Change in how the breast or nipple looks.
Size, shape turned slightly inward
Appear scaly, red or swollen
Ridges or pitting (similar to the picture of the orange)
Nipple discharge

9. How do we diagnose BC? Mammography Machine Beginning at age 20:
Early Breast Cancer Detection Plan
Beginning at age 20:
Performing breast self-exams and looking for any signs of change.
Age 20 to 39:
Scheduling clinical breast exams every three years.
By the age of 40:
Having a baseline mammogram and annual clinical breast exams.
Ages 40 to 49:
Having a mammogram every one to two years depending on previous findings.
Ages 50 and older:
Having a mammogram every year.

11. Who gets breast cancer? YES! 200,000 women annually
40,000 women will die annually
Can men have breast cancer?
1,700 men dx annually
YES!
410 men will die

12. How do we tx BC?
Local therapy: tx tumor at site c/out affecting the rest of the body.
Lumpectomy – remove lump only
Simple Mastectomy – entire breast
Radical Mastectomy – breast, underlying muscle, axillary lymph nodes
Radiation therapy

13. How do we tx BC?
Systemic therapy: drugs given by mouth or directly into the bloodstream to reach cancer cells anywhere in body.
Chemotherapy and/or hormone therapy

14. Stage II 2-5 cm in size & 3 lymph nodes 88%
5 Year Survival Rate By Stage
Stage atypical cells
100%
Stage I ~2 cm in size
98%
Stage II cm in size & 3 lymph nodes
88%
Stage IIIA cm in size & 9 lymph nodes
56%
Stage IIIB spread to other tissues: skin, mm, ribs
49%
Stage IV spread to other organs
16%
