13
What Are Breast Cancer Risk Factors?
14
Risk Factors Female Older age (>50) Family history Overweight (postmenopausal) All women: Maintain BMI18.5-25 kg/m² Alcohol (Add folic acid if drink alcohol) Smoking
15
Risk Factors cont’d HRT and OC Nulliparity or first child over 30 Probably red meat / animal fats Reduce risk with: o Vigorous exercise o Breast feeding ≥ 6/12 o ?Vit D and calcium supplements and low-fat dairy products
16
MENOCAL Vit D and Calcium CALCIFEROL 50 000iu
17
Screening / Surveillance Use Gail Model to assess risk www.cancer.gov.brisktool

Risk Management and Surveillance
20
Is It worth Doing a Surveillance Mammogram ? 1.Never 2.Only with strong Family History 3.Over 50 years in most patients 4.Over 40 years in most patients
21
Should I teach my patients BSE? 1.No, does not improve mortality rates 2.Yes, may help
22
Mammogram
24
Screening / Surveillance contd Normal Risk >20 to 40: CBE each 1 to 3 years >/=40: CBE and ? Mammo annually (share decision-making) 50-69: CBE annually and mammo every year or 2 years >/=70Continue while life expectancy ≥ 7 to 10y
25
Screening / Surveillance contd High Risk High risk women should have screening recommendation from a specialist o LCIS o Previous breast cancer o Strong family history breast, ovary, prostate Consider genetic counselling
26
When Is It Worth Doing Gene Testing? 1.Everyone who can afford it 2.5% risk of carrying gene 3.10% risk 4.20% risk 5.50% risk
27

Diagnosis
30
Early Diagnosis of Breast Cancer Never ignore complaint/ finding of a lump Investigate change in one breast Inflammatory Ca (or recurrence of Ca) may mimic cellulitis – looks like inflammation Cancer may mimic an abscess
31
Early Diagnosis of Breast Cancer cont’d Suspicious signs: Skin dimpling Nipple discharge Change in shape or appearance of breast Axillary glands New nipple inversion
32
Early Diagnosis of Breast Cancer cont’d PREGNANCY DOES NOT PRECLUDE BREAST CANCER
33
Tests Imaging before biopsy Mammo +/- ultrasound (or ultrasound only <35)
34
Aspiration of a Breast Lump
35
Tests cont’d Biopsies Must be experienced operator with training and regular practice Radiologist Pathologist at FNAC clinic GSH (4045292) Surgeon
36
Management of Findings cont’d Err on the side of caution Must find a reason for a breast lump Refer to a surgeon or oncologist if cancer or suspicion of cancer (surgeon)
