Question | Answer |
---|---|
what are 5 stages of breat dev | 1.prepubertal breast 2.breast budding, 1st dign of puberty 3.enlargment and areola 4.nipple/areola form 2nd mound on br tissue 5.more enlargement |
where is breast found | bn 2nd and 6th ribs over pectoralis muscle. Tail of Spence goes into axilla(more cancer) Cooper's ligaments support on chest wall Inframmatory fold - crease at bottom, fat |
Each breast contains how many lobes | 12-20 cone shaped, made up of lobules/ducts where milk is produced |
how often should have breast exam | at risk should have q3yrs til 40, then q yr. |
what are breast quadrants | upper inner/outer; lower inner/outer; Tail of Spence UOQ and Tail of Spence - more cancer |
what is gynecomastia | enlargement of glandular tissue beneath and surrounding areola of male |
when is BSE(breast self exam) performed best | 5-7 days after menses |
what are abnormal signs in BSE | dimpling/retraction/incr venous prominence/nipple inversion/peau d'Orange(edema), mastitis/ Paget's disease (erythema of nipple/areola/thickening/scaling |
what are three patterns for BSE | circular, clockwise/wedge/vertical strip |
what are risk factors for breast cancer | fam hx(1st line hx mother), age(60-65), hormones, obesity, high fat diet |
what are two genetic mutations and factors for these | BRCA1 & BRCA2 (blood test) 1st degree relative wtih early onset, breast/ovarian Ca, male |
what are diagnostic testings for Breast disorders | MRI, Biopsies: percutaneous: FNA-fine needle aspiration(draw cells), core, surgical: stereotactic/ultrasound biopsy, mammography, galactography |
what is only sure way to know if it's cancer | biopsy |
what do benign fibrocystic cycts feel like | palpable, moveable, round |
what is good diet for fibro cysts | low Na, caffeine, chocolate Need vit E, Danocrine, diuretics, antiestrogen Rx |
what could nipple discharge mean | intraductal papilloma: 40-60age, wart-like, bloody discharge Ductal ectasia: peri/post men., multi-colored discharge, burning, itching, retracting nipple, abscess |
What kind of breast infection is mastitis | inflam or infection of brest tissue, mostly in breastfeeding, red, fever Tx: antibiotics, cold compresses |
what is usually cause of mastitis | S. aureus |
what is mastalgia | breast pain, cyclic, noncyclic |
what are cysts in breasts | fluid filled sacs dev as breast ducts dilate, estrogen factor, not increase risk of breast cancer |
what is fibroadenoma | movable, painless lump, (hard masses not good), Af. Am 15-25 age |
what are two common diagnoses of benign proliferative breast disease | atypical hyperplasia: abnormal incr in ductal/lobular cells in breast. Incr risk of br. Ca 4-5x Lobular Carcinoma in Situ: cells in lobules, marker for incr risk |
what are three types of radiation for breast Ca | primary radiation: shrink tumor to surgically take out brachytherapy: internal palliative therapy: decr tumor sites, s/s |
what is most effective therapy against breast Ca | chemotherapy other therapies: hormonal, biologic and targeted |
Breast cancer lesions are more like | nontender, fixed not mobile, hard wtih irregular borders |
what is cryoablation | cold gas injected to freeze tumor |
what are surgical mgmt for breast Ca | conservation tx, total mastectomy: not anymore, modified radical Goal: gain local control of disease mast, sentinel node biopsy, axillary lymph node dissection, reconstruction |
what is SLNB, sentinel node biopsy and ALND axillary lymph node dissection | take first node that receives drainage from tumor, test for cancer. If find cancer(positive), take more nodes...means past Stage 1 |
what is potential complication after ALND | lymphedema of arm: fluid build up, pain, heavy, impair motor fx, numbness, can be chronic hematoma/seroma: fluid collection infection |
what are precautions for mastectomy pts | no BP, injections, blood drawn, excercises 3x/day |
what are two more important factors for breast Ca prognosis | tumor size and if spread to lymph nodes under arm |
what is modified radial mastectomy | remove entire breast tissue, nipple/areola, portion of axillary lymph nodes(ALND) |
what is radical mastectomy | remove muscles as well |
what is total mastectomy | remove breast/nipple/areola, NOT ALND |
what is mammoplasty | breast augmentation: silicone envelopes breast reduction(mammoplasty) breast lift(matopexy) |
Nonsurgical Tx for breast Ca | radiation therapy, chemotherapy, hormonal therapy |
what are absolute contradicitons to tx | 1st/2nd trimester of preg multicentric disease in breast prior radiation to breast |
What is most common radiation tx | external beam begins 6 wks after surgery |
what is brachytherapy | partial breast radiation of lumpectomy site |
what is adjuvant chemotherapy | chemo along with other tx |
what is mainstay tx for hormonal agents | SERM for premenopausal |
what are aromatase inhibitors | block estrogen for hormone therapy |
what is new standard therapy for breast Ca | target therapy, target HER2/neu protein. For pt with tumor >1cm in size |
what is a tissue xfer procedure after breast Ca surgery | transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous(TRAM) flap |
