EXAM 1- SCREENING Flashcards
Most effective form of health care
primary prevention
primary prevention
health screening for risk factors
types of primary prevention
- immunizations
- health risk assessment
- education
secondary prevention
ID and treat pts that are asymptomatic who have risk factors for disease
types of secondary prevention
- CA- mammogram, PAP, PSA, Cscope
2. HTN- BP checks
tertiary prevention
part of management of a given established disease aimed at decreasing complications
tertiary prevention types
- lifestyle modifications
- education about disease
- meds
what to consider for if screening is worthwhile
- prevelance rates
- disease associated with disability and death
- high risk populations
- individual risk factors
- economics
sensitivity- true positive
% of pts that test positive who have the disease
specificity- true negative
% of pts that test negative who do not have the disease
USPSTF
US Preventive Services Task Force
breast CA
most freq dx CA in women
overall lifetime risk of breast CA for all women
12%
breast ca risk
family hx of breast ca
other high risk factors for breast ca
- BRCA1/BRCA2 mutation
2. Ashkenazi Jew
CBE
USPSTF recommended that there is not enough evidence to suggest adding CBE to mammogram for early detection of breast CA
clinician has to use their judgement
mammogram digital vs film
Sensitivity/digital: 70%
Sensitivity/ Film: 66%
Specificity Both: 92%
mammogram
x ray examination of breast
mammogram CI
pregnanct women
woman younger than 25 (bc radiation)
USPSTF - breast CA
Recommends against routine screening 40-49 years: Grade C
Screen women age 50-74 every 2 years: Grade B
Recommends against teaching SBE
Insufficient evidence grade D with grade I statement
American CA Society- breast CA
Annual mammography age 40 years
Clinical breast exam every 3 years age 20-39
Annually after age 40years
American college of obstetrics
Mammography every 1-2 years beginning age 40
Clinical breast exam annually beginning age 20 years
cervical ca burden of disease
12,200 new cases and 4210 deaths annually (2010)
Incidence varies by ethnicity/race
Worldwide: second most common cancer in women
Most common cause of mortality from GYN cancer
cervical CA risk factors
early onset intercourse < 17 y/o, # of sex partners, smoking, DES exposure in-utero, HPV
Papanicolaou Smear aka Pap test Uses
Screening for cancer of the cervix
Detects neoplastic cells in cervical secretions
pap test
Can be done by GYN or PCP, done by swabbing cervix and using under screen to check for active bacteria or infections and sent and read to see if there are neoplastic cells that indicate risk or CA
USPSTF Recommendations of cervical CA
Age 21-65 years
PAP every 3 years
Age 30-65 years
Combination of cytology and HPV testing Grade A recommendation
Over age 65: no screening Grade D
Total Hysterectomy
No screening grade D when no h/o prior abnormality
USPSTF cervical CA age 21-29
pap with cervical cytology q 3 yr
no HPV testing
USPSTF cervical CA age 30-65
Screen with cervical cytology every 3 yearsorin women who want to lengthen screening interval, screen with cervical cytology and HPV testing every 5 years.
USPSTF cervical CA > 65 y/o
Recommend against screening if adequate prior screening and not at high risk for cervical cancer.
USPSTF recommendations against screening for cervical ca with HPV screening alone or in combination with cytology
women < 30 y/o
Recommendations by The American Cancer Society (ACS), The American Society for Colposcopy and Cervical Pathology (ASCCP), and The American Society for Clinical Pathology (ASCP) for cervical CA
Begin Pap smears at age 21, regardless of when sexual activity began.
Age 21-29: Screen with cervical cytology alone every 3 years.
Age 30-65: Screen with cervical cytology and HPV testing (co-testing) every 5 years (preferred)orscreen with cervical cytology alone every 3 years (acceptable).
Women >65 years of age with a history of CIN 2, 3, or adenocarcinoma in situ: Continue routine screening for at least 20 years after treatment or regression. In some women, this may mean screening past age 65.
HPV testing alone should not be used as cervical cancer screening.
