81
Q

Protective factors?

A

Both will present with abnormal bleeding

Type 1: endometroid (adenoCA) - most common. related to Estrogen exposure, starts with a precursor lesion of hyperplasia. Good prognosis

Type 2: Serous (Clear cell CA) - not related to Estrogen, due to p53 mutation. No precursor, poor prognosis.

Estrogen is a protective factor. Progestin for women of childbearing age

82

Protective factor?

Tumor marker?

A

risk - age, low parity, low fertility, delayed child baring (aka more estrogen exposure)

estrogen excess = breasts and vag blood (INDICATES OVARIAN CYSTS OR TUMOR)

androgen excess - hair, clitoris, acne (INDICATES ADRENAL TUMOR OF C.A.H.)

86

Ovarian cyst
CAH
Adrenal or Ovarian Tumors
McCune Albright Syndrome

Q

Fibrocystic change is associated with which environmental risk factors?

caffeine, trauma

88
Q

Pre - ultrasound (tells if it is cystic or solid)

post - mammography

Q

Tx for HER2/Neu + breast cancer?

A

Trastuzumab

90
Q

Dx step in asymptomatic ovarian mass in a postmenopausal woman?
