routine recall, technical recall ( blurry), clinical recall female waited until appointement despite mammogram being normal, abnormal mammogram
xrays of breast?
4 standard views
craniocaudal view
mediolateral oblique
what biopsy do you take imaging for microcalcification?
stereotactic biopsy
ductal cell in situ is?
malignant proliferation of epithelial cell in terminal duct lobular unit without invasion of basement membrane
grading by surgery p, imaging m/u, pathology b?
- normal
- benign
- indeterminate/ likely benign small
- suspicious of malignancy
- malignant
grading by surgery p, imaging m/u, pathology b?
- normal

if you are less than 40 you dont get?
mammogram only ultrasound
if benign would you biopsy?
if over 30 just in case
which 2 conditions can present the same?
abscess, inflammatory breast cancer
symptomatic referral through GP would be?
2 week wait
breast biopsy diagnosis
b5a- intraepithelial neoplasia- excision but no sentinel lymph node biopsy necessary
b5b- invasive neoplasm - excise and sentinel lymph node biopsy always necessary
neoplastic proliferation will lose?
basal cells
fibroadenoma is
stromal proliferation
orientating wide local excision
blue- anterior
2 long- lateral
2 short- superior
Where does calcification happen?
necrosis areas
grading of tumour?
presence of ducts
cytonuclear pleomorphism
mitotic count
ductal neoplasia retains?
e-cadherin- cell adhesion molecule
whereas lobular neoplasia loses e-cadherin, single cells
lobular neoplasia is usually?
bilateral, multifocal- spreads everywhere
her2 expression?
to see if herceptin can be treatment if 3 plus
if 2 plus equivocal then requires further testing FISH
if equivocal then what do you perform?
in situ hybridization
which classification is associated with BRCA mutations?
ER , PR and hER2 negative basal-like
luminal A or B subtypes are?
60%- ER/PR positive HER2 variable
HER2/ neu rich subtype?
15% ER/PR negative, HER2/neu positive
sentinel lymph node?
first lymph node that drains the breast, if negative for metastases in an invasive tumour then reassure other lymph node after will be ok
sentinel lymph node involved by metastasis?
axillary dissection
case defintion?
criterion/ set for criteria for the determination of whether someone has the disease
