the less exposure to unopposed estrogen (late menarche, early menopause) the less the risk for developing breast caner.
True
T/F

False
Fibrocystic change
T/F
The most common cause of bloody nipple discharge in a woman < 50 yo. is Paget's disease of breast
False
intraductal papilloma in the lactiferous ducts
T/F
The most common cause of caner in the terminal ducts is a lobular carcinoma
True
Most breast cancers are painful masses in the UOQ.
False
most are painless
T/F
The purpose of mammography is to distinguish a benign from a malignant breast mass.
False
it is to detect palpable masses
T/F
Most breast masses > 50 yo. are due to fibrocystic change.
False
infiltrating breast cancer
T/F
Calcification within a breast mass is pathognomonic for cancer
False
most cases are in sclerosing adenosis, which is benign variant of fibrocystic change
T/F
Inflammatory carcinoma is associated with peadu d'orange secondary to plugging of dermal lymphatics by tumor
true
T/F
The status of lymph nodes is the single most important prognostic factor in tumors over 2 cm in size
True

false
infiltrating ductal carcinoma
T/F
Anemia of chronic disease is usually microcytic
true
T/F
The serum ferritin and TIBC distinguish iron deficiency from anemia of chronic disease
True
iron deficiency: TIBC increased and ferritin low
reversed in ACD
T/F
Thrombocytosis is commonly seen in the setting of Disseminated malignancy
True
T/F
A single fasting glucose of > 126 mg/dL is sufficient to diagnose DM.
False
it must be repeated and abnormal one other time
T/F

True
T/F

False
it is a degenerative disease with wearing down of articular cartilage
Rheumatoid arthritis is an immunocomplex disease
T/F
radical mastectomy includes the breast with nipple areolar complex, a dissection of axillary lymph nodes in continuity, and in most cases the pectoralis minor.
True
T/F
The ERA-PRA status of the tumor is the most important prognostic factor in breast cancer.
False
the status of lymph nodes is the single most important prognostic factor
T/F
Tamoxifen is an estrogen agonist and antagonist and can protect the woman from osteoporosis but cause the other deleterious vascular and uterine side effects
True
T/F
In metastasis to the liver, the AP, GGT, transaminases, LDH, and total bilirubin are all elevated.
False
AP, GGT, and LDH are elevated
TB and transaminases are normal since the disease is focal and not diffuse
T/F
Obesity downregulates insulin receptors synthesis, hence producing glucose intolerance and the potential for type 2 DM
True
T/F
the most important initial step in the management of type II DM is put the patient on an oral sulfonyleurea to lower glucose
False
weight loss is the most important initial step
