Q

What is a Bishop score? What is it used for?

A

Scoring of the cervix during/before labor. This helps us determine whether or not the patient is in labor, what phase of labor they’re in and how the labor is progressing. Predictor of whether or not IOL is necessary

25
Q

Why do we recommend patients to not have another pregnancy for 6-12 months after a mole pregnancy

A

We do serial HCG levels for months afterwards to watch the levels drop and make sure there’s no persistent disease going on. If the patient is pregnant so soon afterwards there’s A) a chance the mole could happen again and B) HCG levels will be high from that so we won’t know if there’s also something scary going on

90
Q

Signs of poor prognosis in BC

A
Age
Menopause
Tumor size (>2cm)
LN status (sentinel LN is sampled first to avoid axillary LN dissection)
ER/PR status
HER-2 overexpression
91
Q

What’s really the only option for triple negative BC

A

chemo. Yikes

92

ER/PR -
Good/used regardless of HER status

Given before surgery to help reduce tumor size. Gives us a shot at possibly resetion an inoperable tumor.

Given before resection. It’s a “new” idea to give chemo before surgery
