Oncology: Principles of Onco Rehab Pt. 2 Flashcards
MOST COMMON Cx IN WOMEN***
Breast Cx
Breast Cx
S/S
Cx cells originate in breast tissue
- lump in breast
- puckering/dimpling
- rough/dry scaly skin
- erythema or local rash
- nipple discharge
- nipple retraction
- lymphadenopathy
Types of Breast Cx
3:
- Ductal –MAIN
- Lobular–MAIN
- Inflammatory
Types of Breast Cx
Ductal
- Origin: Milk ducts
- 85% of all breast cx’s
-
TYPES:
- in situ (DCIS) —-remains w/in area orig. dx’d
- Invasive—-outside area
Types of Breast Cx
Lobular
- Origin: Milk Lobules
- 10-15% all breast cx’s
-
TYPES:
- in situ (LCIS)
- Invasive
Breast Cx Dx
4 Methods:
- Self exam
- Clinical exam
-
Imaging
- mammogram
- US
-
**BIOPSY— ONLY definitive way to dx cx
- needle
- open
- **Staging — TNM
- *Sentinel Node Mapping*
Sentinel Node Biopsy
Why is this beneficial?
More discriminating in what needs to be removed
*only take what they have to
Sentinel Node Biopsy
Breast Cx
What is it and what do they do?
- Inject radioisotope blue dye INTO tumor
-
Sentinel nodes ID’d and biopsied
- __ONLY WHERE Cx is ID’d
-
Sentinel nodes + axillary node dissection
- ==> take ADD. lvls of tissue
Sentinel Node Biopsy
In general
Looking for Sentinel nodes (only nodes ID’d w/ Cx) and removing them so they don’t have to remove EXTRA tissue
Breast Cx
Axillary Node Dissection
- Removal of lymph nodes in AXILLA
- PREVENT further spread of dis.
-
INCd risk for lymphedema
- IF higher amt taken OUT
Breast Cx
Tx Options: 4
- Sx
- Radiation
- Chemo
- Hormone Tx
Breast Cx Tx Options
Surgery
- Breast Salvage
- Lumpectomy
- Partial mastectomy
- Breast Removal
- TOTAL mastectomy
- Modified radical mastectomy
- Radical mastectomy
Breast Cx Tx Options
Hormone Therapy
- Anti-estrogen
- Anti-progesterone
-
Herceptin
- ability of hormones to effect growth w/in breast tissue
Breast Sx
Mastectomy
Radical Mastectomy
- ALL lymph nodes taken OUT
- ALL lymph, ALL breast, cuts thru mm’s
Breast Sx
Mastectomy
Modified Radical Mastectomy
- Mastectomy W/ lymph node dissection
- lymph nodes taken OUT
Breast Sx
Mastectomy
Simple/Total
Total Mastectomy w/ Sentinel Node Biopsy
REGULAR MASTECTOMY
- removal of breast tissue W/OUT ANY lymph nodes effected
- == Total mastectomy w/ Sentinel Node Biopsy
Breast Cx
Reconstructive Sx broken down:
see pics
Breast Cx
Reconstructive Sx
Tissue Expander
- TEMPORARY prosthesis
- expand w/ saline 4-8wks
- THEN replace w/ implant
-
alloderm graft
- acellular tissue matrix
- inf. border
Breast Cx
Reconstructive Sx
Latissimus Flap
- INDICATION: decd viable skin to create breast
- PROCEDURE:
- transfer of overlying fat, skin, part of Lat mm to ipsilat wall
Breast Cx
Reconstructive Sx
Pedicle TRAM
- TRAM==Transverse Rectus Abdominal Myocutaneous
- Transfer of rectus abdominis mm, blood supply (sup epigastric aa and vein), fat, and skin TO mastectomy site
- One end remains attached and OTHER END is rotated UP and tunneled to mastectomy site
- NOT ideal for obese, smokers—-> DECd blood supply
Breast Cx
Reconstructive Sx
Free/Muscle Sparing TRAM
- MICRO-vascular sx —reconnect blood vessels
- COMPLETE TRANSFER of skin, mm, blood vessels TO mastectomy site w/ reconnection of blood supply
- Muscle sparing==> optimal to remove LEAST amt of mm fibers
Breast Cx
Reconstructive Sx
DIEP TRAM
*NEW STANDARD*
- DIEP= Deep Inf. Epigastric Perforators (Flap blood supply)
-
Donor tissue= removal of abdominal skin, fat, blood supply
- rectus mm spared*
- Blood vessels reconnected to internal mammary aa/vein
- Donor tissue inserted INTO mastectomy skin pocket
Breast Cx
Reconstructive Sx
Rehab Implications
- Activity restrictions/guidelines
- Progressive ROM/strengthening
- Postural re-ed
- core stab, scapular stab, bra fitting
- Manual therapy—-scars
Breast Cx as a Metastatic Dis
