Q

Principles of screening for a disease

A
  • Disease screened for represents an important health problem
  • It has a well-understood natural history
  • It has a recognizable early stage
  • There is a benefit to early treatment
  • There is a suitable test
  • There are adequate facilities to diagnose and treat the condition
  • Screen can be done at intervals to match the natural history
  • There is less harm than benefit

Q

Staging of Breast Cancer?

A

TNM classification, based on tumour size, number of nodes involved and evidence of distant metastases

T Staging

  • T1: <2cm
  • T2: 2-5cm
  • T3: > 5cm
  • T4: extends to skin/chest wall

N Staging

  • N0: No Nodes
  • N1: Mobile Ipsilateral Nodes
  • N2: Fixed Ipsilateral Nodes
  • N3: Infra/supra clavicular or internal mammary nodes

M Staging

  • M0: No distant disease
  • M1: Distant Disease

Q

What is the Oncotype DX Score?

Score thresholds?

A

21 genome panel that assesses if a patient with luminal breast cancer will benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy (Between 0 and 100)

  • Oncotype DX score ≥ 26: hormone therapy and chemotherapy
  • Oncotype DX score is ≤ 25: hormone therapy alone
