1 Breast Cancer Risk Factors and Breast Cancer Early Detection Lisa A. Newman, M.D., M.P.H., F.A.C.S. Professor of Surgery Director, Breast Care Center University of Michigan Ann Arbor, MI
2 REDUCTION OF THE BREAST CANCER BURDEN Preventing Breast Cancer Reducing breast cancer risk factors Chemoprevention Prophylactic mastectomy Reducing Breast Cancer Mortality Early detection (screening) Improving treatment
3 Relevance of Topic Importance of understanding breast cancer risk factors Some risk factors are modifiable High-risk women (women most likely to develop breast cancer) might consider alternative screening programs or risk-reducing strategies Importance of breast cancer early detection Breast cancer includes a complex spectrum of disease subtypes Treatment is more likely to be successful for ANY subtype, even the most aggressive
4 BREAST CANCER RISK FACTORS Clinical Features Menstrual/Reproductive factors Early menarche Late menopause Nulliparity/elderly primigravida (Note: prolonged lactation is PROTECTIVE!) Postmenopausal obesity Prolonged exogenous hormone exposure Hormone Replacement Therapy Heavy alcohol intake
5 BREAST CANCER RISK FACTORS Clinical Features Family history maternal or paternal lines 1 members and early onset strongest, but extended FH important for comprehensive assessment ethnicity in combination with FH may better assess risk of hereditary cancer Personal history of breast cancer Chest wall irradiation (especially during adolescence and early adult life)
6 Hereditary Breast Cancer Approximately 180,000 breast cancers diagnosed in the United States annually 6-10% with hereditary etiology majority related to mutations in BRCA 1 or BRCA 2 genes 56-85% of women with BRCA mutations will develop breast cancer by age 70 Increased frequency of mutations with unclear significance in African American Hereditary breast cancer in Africa????
7 BREAST CANCER RISK FACTORS Clinical Features Family history Menstrual history Histopathologic Features Biopsy evidence of abnormal proliferation
8 BREAST CANCER RISK FACTORS Histopathologic Features Atypical ductal hyperplasia Atypical lobular hyperplasia Radial Scar Papilloma Lobular carcinoma in situ Note: when these pathologies are identified in a needle biopsy, a surgical biopsy must then be performed for further evaluation
9 BREAST CANCER RISK FACTORS Approximately 75-80% of breast cancers occur in women with no identifiable risk factors!
10 SCREENING FOR BREAST CANCER Breast Self-Examination Clinical Breast Examination Screening Mammography Other (Selected Cases) Whole Breast ultrasound MRI Screening guidelines are intended for women with a normal breast exam; any change in breast exam requires a diagnostic evaluation!
11 SCREENING FOR BREAST CANCER Breast Self-Examination Background Limited data on efficacy, but rational approach for improving breast health awareness Monthly, age 20 years and over approximately 1 week after menstrual period in premenopausal women Technique Visual inspection Upright palpation Supine palpation Breast, axillary, and supraclavicular palpation
12 SCREENING FOR BREAST CANCER Clinical Breast Examination Background Limited data on effectiveness To be performed by trained health care provider Yearly, after age 20 Alternatively, whenever woman undergoes GYN examination and/or mammogram Technique Visual inspection Upright palpation Supine palpation Breast, axillary, and supraclavicular palpation
13 PALPABLE BREAST ABNORMALITIES Fibroadenoma Simple Cyst Complex Cyst Fibrocystic, Fibrofatty Nodularities Infectious Abscess Mastitis Neoplasm/Cancer Biopsy necessary to definitively discriminate the benign lumps from the cancers
14 Danger Signs / Symptoms of Breast Cancer Dominant or discrete lump Bloody nipple discharge Breast skin erythema, puckering, edema Sometimes difficult to distinguish from mastitis Cancer MUST be ruled out promptly if skin changes persist or do not resolve completely with trial of antibiotics Axillary and/or supraclavicular adenopathy Upper extremity lymphedema/secondary to adenopathy

32 SCREENING FOR BREAST CANCER Breast Self-Examination Background Limited data on efficacy, but rational approach for improving breast health awareness Monthly, age 20 years and over approximately 1 week after menstrual period in premenopausal women Technique Visual inspection Upright palpation Supine palpation Breast, axillary, and supraclavicular palpation
33 MAMMOGRAPHY
34 SCREENING FOR BREAST CANCER Mammography Annually for women age 40 and older optimal results with dedicated breast imaging staff and availability of prior studies for comparison 30% lower mortality in screened women >49 yrs Controversies: Survival benefits, particularly in women yrs Digital versus conventional mammography? Frequency of mammography in highest-risk pts
35 TYPES OF BREAST ABNORMALITIES Palpable Masses Nonpalpable Masses Image-detected Nipple Discharge Isolated Axillary Adenopathy Breast Pain
36 DIAGNOSTIC INTERVENTION FOR BREAST ABNORMALITIES Clinical judgment essential Breast cancer screening in frail/elderly women should be guided by medical fitness of patient Selection of intervention may be influenced by patient age, family history Selection of intervention should be guided by level of suspicion regarding nature of abnormality Bx is definitive, but observation and short-interval reevaluation is safe for selected lesions
37 PALPABLE BREAST ABNORMALITIES Fibroadenoma Simple Cyst Complex Cyst Fibrocystic, Fibrofatty Nodularities Infectious Abscess Mastitis Neoplasm/Cancer
38 BREAST IMAGING FOR PALPABLE MASSES Mammogram Well-defined versus spiculated lesions Calcifications Multicentricity Contralateral disease? Breast Ultrasound Cystic versus solid nature of lesion Echogenicity and configuration Best performed as a focused study in conjunction with mammographic and clinical correlation
39 BREAST IMAGING FOR PALPABLE MASSES Mammogram Well-defined versus spiculated lesions Calcifications Multicentricity Contralateral disease? Breast Ultrasound Cystic versus solid nature of lesion Echogenicity and configuration Best performed as a focused study in conjunction with mammographic and clinical correlation
40 HISTOPATHOLOGIC WORK-UP OF PALPABLE MASSES Open, excisional biopsy (gold standard) Percutaneous, free-hand needle biopsy Fine-needle aspirate (FNA) Core, Tru-Cut needle biopsy Image-directed needle biopsy Ultrasound-guided Stereotactic/mammo-guided Limitations of FNA False negative rate with FNA 15-20% FNA during pregnancy may be difficult to interpret
41 NON-PALPABLE BREAST ABNORMALITIES Masses Asymmetric densities Calcifications
42 HISTOPATHOLOGIC WORK-UP OF NON-PALPABLE MASSES Open, excisional biopsy with preop mammo/sonoguided needle/wire localization gold standard specimen mammogram essential Image-directed needle biopsy Ultrasound-guided, or Stereotactic/mammo-guided Core needles generally preferred over FNA Accurate, avoids unnecessary surgery Certain high-risk lesions must be followed by surgery facilitates single-stage cancer-directed surgery planning improved likelihood of margin-negative lumpectomy
43 Nipple Discharge Physiologic: May be greenish; clear; gold; milky Frequently from multiple ducts Usually secondary to fibrocystic changes and/or hormonal issues Pathologic: Bloody?unilateral, single duct non-bloody May be caused by intraductal papillomas, duct ectasia, or cancer
44 Bloody Nipple Discharge: Workup Mammogram Subareolar ultrasound Ductogram Goal: to identify a target for biopsy If no focal lesions identified, pt referred for terminal duct excision

46 Total/Terminal Duct Excision Chassin s Operative Strategy in General Surgery, 3rd ed. 2002
47 Management of Young Women with Breast Abnormalities Age <30; no focal findings; diffuse pain and/or fibronodularity Observation reasonable Reevaluate patient one week after menstrual cycle Age<30; focal site of dominant nodularity Imaging with ultrasound, mammogram Age 30; any breast complaint Imaging with ultrasound and consideration of mammogram reasonable Referral to BCC in questionable cases Concerns re: lobular CA
48 SURGERY FOR BREAST CANCER: Evolution Radical Mastectomy Extended Radical Mastectomy Modified Radical Mastectomy Breast Conservation Therapy Breast Reconstruction Delayed Immediate Lymphatic Mapping/Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy Preoperative chemotherapy
49 MANAGEMENT OF BREAST CANCER Three Principles Eradicate the primary focus of disease The entire breast must be treated risk of microscopic multicentric foci of disease The axillary nodal basin must be staged
50 MANAGEMENT OF BREAST CANCER: Standard of Care Modified Radical Mastectomy Removal of breast with axillary surgery Breast Conservation Therapy Lumpectomy, axillary surgery, and breast XRT Systemic therapy (chemotherapy and/or hormonal therapy), depending on tumor stage & features Breast cancer treatment trials: women randomized to lumpectomy vs mastectomy women randomized to surgery + CTX vs surgery alone
51 Clinical Trials of Mastectomy vs. Breast Conservation Therapy Trial # Pts Max tumor Overall Survival Local Recurrence size Mast BCT Mast BCT Milan Cancer Institute cm 76% 79% 6% 5% EORTC cm 66% 65% 12% 20% U.S. NCI cm 79% 78% 8% 13% NSABP B cm 71% 71% 8% Lumpectomy + XRT: 10% Lumpectomy only: 39%
52 MASTECTOMY VS. BREAST CONSERVATION THERAPY Breast cancer outcome is dependent on disease stage and primary tumor biology Survival equivalence for mastectomy and lumpectomy patients Factors for optimal lumpectomy results Patient wish for breast preservation Access to XRT facility Acceptable tumor/breast size ratio Lumpectomy margins negative for cancer Mammogram free of diffuse calcifications Unicentric disease (one tumor)
53 BREAST CONSERVATION THERAPY
54 BREAST RECONSTRUCTION Immediate versus Delayed Autogenous tissue TRAM flap (abdominal skin and fatty tissue) Latissimus dorsi flap (using back tissues) Implant Staged procedure, starting with tissue expander that is subsequently exchanged for the implant Adverse factors Chest wall irradiation Smoking
55 DELAYED RECONSTRUCTION
56 BREAST RECONSTRUCTION: Conventional Mastectomy
57 Skin-Sparing Mastectomy Improves cosmesis with immediate breast reconstruction Resection of nipple-areolar complex, any tumor biopsy scar, and axillary surgery Preservation of uninvolved breast skin Preservation of inframammary fold
58 SKIN SPARING MASTECTOMY
59 SKIN SPARING MASTECTOMY
60 SKIN-SPARING MASTECTOMY
61 SKIN SPARING MASTECTOMY
62 AXILLARY LYMPH NODES AND BREAST CANCER One of the first routes of breast cancer spread Cancer involvement of axillary lymph nodes reflects likelihood of microscopic cancer elsewhere in the body Micrometastases Even patients with early stage breast cancer are at risk for having micrometastases There is no replacement for removal of nodes and microscopic evaluation to look for cancer present within the nodes
63 Breast Lymphatics
64 Surgical Staging of the Axilla Axillary Lymph Node Dissection: The Gold standard Morbidity: Lymphedema, Numbness, Shoulder dysfunction Lymphatic Mapping & SLN Bx Most promising technology available for minimizing risks of axillary lymph node surgery without compromising treatment
65 LYMPHATIC MAPPING AND SENTINEL LYMPH NODE BIOPSY The sentinel lymph nodes are the primary lymph nodes responsible for draining the segment of the breast where the cancer was diagnosed There are two methods of identifying the sentinel lymph nodes Radioisotope injection Blue dye injection Accuracy depends on expertise of surgeon!
66 Lymphatic Mapping
67 LYMPHOSCINTIGRAPHY
68 SENTINEL LYMPH NODE BIOPSY
69 SYSTEMIC THERAPY FOR BREAST CANCER 15-20% relapse rate for Stage I disease Adjuvant systemic therapy can decrease odds of relapse by 30% consider adjuvant systemic therapy for micrometastases if tumor >1cm, or node-positive Selection of appropriate systemic therapy is essential for improved survival
70 SYSTEMIC THERAPY FOR Endocrine therapy Tamoxifen Aromatase Inhibitors Chemotherapy Targeted therapy Herceptin BREAST CANCER Selection of appropriate systemic therapy is essential for improved survival
71 PREOPERATIVE CHEMOTHERAPY Improved chemotherapy for breast cancer results in easier surgery & earlier treatment of micrometastases Allows for monitoring of chemotherapy effectiveness Benefits depend on increased use of needle biopsies Pre-CTX Post-CTX
72 Common Questions and Concerns Does breast pain indicate that I have cancer? Does breast pain indicate that I don t cancer? Should I get mammograms more frequently if I have a family history of breast cancer? Does exposure to air make a tumor spread? Does stress cause cancer? Can I avoid breast cancer by following a special diet? Can I develop breast cancer by following a special diet? Do brassieres cause breast cancer? Is there any way to prevent breast cancer?
