36
Q

Nipple Discharge- S/S & PE

A

Nl Lactation

Galactorrhea

  • Milky white discharge - bilateral
  • frequent result of hyperprolactinemia - meds or tumor

Pathologic Nipple Discharge

  • Causes - duct ectasia, intraductal papilloma, carcinoma
  • unilateral - single duct
  • Serous, bloody, serosanguineous
  • Purulent w/ breast abscess
37
Q

Nipple Discharge- diagnosis

A

Pathologic

  • U/S or Mammogram
  • cytogological of discharge - not helpful -> neg doesn’t rule out cancer
38
Q

Nipple Discharge- treatment

Pathologic:
Refer
Surgery - involved duct
- tx and diagnosis

39
Q

  • length of reproductive life
  • Parity
  • age at first birth
40
Q

A

BRCA1 and BRCA2

41
Q

Breast Cancer- epidemiology

A
inc w/ age
61
Risk:
- Nullparity
- Early menarche
- Late menopause
- long term estrogen or radiation exposure
- Delayed childbearing >30
- 1st deg relatives
- hx of endometrial
42
Q

Breast Cancer- S/S & PE

A

Non-invasive
Ductal carcinoma in-situ
- no palpable mass
Lobular carcinoma in-situ

Invasive
Invasive ductal carcinoma - 80-85%
- underlying palpable mass 
Invasive lobular carcinoma
Special types
43
Q

Breast Cancer- diagnosis

A

Early - mammographic changes and no mass

PE, mammography, US, fine need biop, core biopsy, excisional biopsy

Tumor marking - estrogen and progesterone receptor

  • HER2/NEU
  • histologic

Additional testing - MRI, CT, chest xray, bone scan, PET scan

44
Q

Breast Cancer- labs & imaging

A

Breast Self-Awareness

  • be familiar w/ breasts
  • report any changes to PCP

Clinical Breast Exam
- No real benefit if getting mammograms

Mammography - best screening

  • ACS - yearly at 40, every 2 yr at 55yo
  • USPSTF - yearly at 50-75
  • start before 50 is pt decision - higher rates of false pos and unneeded biopsies -> more estrogen

MRI

  • high risk - MRI + mammogram yearly at 30yo
  • BRCA, 1st deg relat w/ BRCA, prior radiation to chest
45
Q

A
Stage
Early - lumpectomy w/ sentinel node biopsy

Palliative
46
Q

Breast Cancer- prognosis

A

Factors

  • Tumor size, grade
  • Lymph node involvement
  • age

F/U Care

  • long term f/u - most will recure w/in 2-5 yr
  • first 2yr - examine every 6m w/ mammogram -> then annually
