Breast Cancer Staging
■ Stage I - 100%
○ tumors < 2 cm and negative nodes
■ Stage II - 86%
○ tumors < 2 cm and one to three nodes
tumors 2-5 cm and 0 to 3 nodes
○ tumors > 5 cm and 0 nodes
■ Stage III - 57%
○ tumors > 5 cm and 1-3 nodes
tumors that extend into chest wall
Breast Cancer Tx - Adjuvent endocrine - 5 yrs
○ Tamoxifen premenopausal women with early-stage
aromatase inhibitors + bisphosphanates- postmenopausal women
tamoxifen contraindicated - ovarian ablation
Breast Cancer Surgical Tx
■ DCIS
○ lumpectomy plus radiation therapy) or mastectomy
○ Lymph node evaluation is not typically not done
○ tamoxifen for 5 years
■ Invasive Breast Cancer
○ mastectomy and sentinel lymph node evaluation; or lumpectomy and sentinel lymph node evaluation followed by whole-breast radiation therapy (less suitable for tumor>5cm)
○ Staging with a CT scan and bone scan
○ Postmastectomy radiation if
positive surgical margins despite mastectomy, inflammatory breast cancer
,large tumors (>5 cm), or any positive axillary lymph nodes
Breast CA Adjuvant chemotherapy
if size > 1 cm or +ve nodes

- 3 to 6 months of treatment with two or three agents, administered concurrently or sequentially.
○ Commonly used agents include cyclophosphamide, anthracyclines (doxorubicin or epirubicin), methotrexate, 5-fluorouracil, and one of the taxanes (docetaxel or paclitaxel).
○ trastuzumab, given for 1 year, either sequentially or concurrently with chemotherapy, significantly reduced breast cancer recurrence by approximately 50% and improved overall survival.
■ cardiotoxic - echo at baseline and every 3 months during treatment

laryngal CA tx
T1a- T2 - radiation
T3 - induction chemo folllowed by radiation
T4 - total laryngectomy

Cervical Cancer - 3 levels

Treatment ( 3 levels)


I and IIA


Radiation therapy or surgery with radical hysterectomy observation if not


candidate for surgery


IIB, III, and IVA Radiation therapy and


concurrent chemotherapy


usually cisplatin


IVB Palliative chemo and radiation for local symptoms

Cervical cancer stages

stage IA (limited to microscopic lesions)


stage IIA (presence of macroscopic disease, nonbulky)


Stage IIB (bulky, cancer extends beyond the uterus but does not invade the pelvic side wall or lower third of the vagina)


stage III Extension to the side wall or lower vagina or the presence of urethral obstruction

Colon Cancer staging

I. does not invade full thickness

II. invades fullthickness and may invade pericolonic fat


III. one or mare lymph nodes


IV. Metastatic



Colon Cancer tx

-Stage I or II - surgical resection


-NO benefit of adjuvant chemo in stage II unless high risk features


-Stage III - surgery + adjuvant FOLFOL or CAPOX for 6 months


- Stage IV - modified 5FU regimen, can use FOLFOX or FOLFIRI


check Kras and Nras, can add bevacizumab


Usually dont radiate in Colon CA


postop surveillance - CEA q3-6mo, pan CT q1y for 3-5 yr, c-scope at 1yr then q3-5 yr



Rectal CA Rx

-Stage I (T1-T2) N0 - surgery, no chemo or rad


-Locally advanced T3-4 add neoadjuvant


-Stage II or III - preop radiation and neoadjuvant chemo and adjuvant chemo

Anal CA rx

squamous cell CA


no surgery


Radiation with concurrent 5 fu + mitomycin

gastroesophogeal CA tx

Stages I-III - surgery + neoadjuvant +- adjuvant chemo


stage IV - palliative - cisplatin based


20-30 % HER 2 + - traztuzamab

Neuroendocrine tumors Rx

1. if tumor is hormonally symptomatic and has shown to have somatostatin receptors can use ocreotide


2. hepatic arterial embolization, radiofrequency ablation, or surgical debulking, may be used to reduce symptomatic tumor bulk


3. indolent tumors - expectant observation and serial imaging using triple-phase contrast-enhanced CT scanning or MRI with gadolinium.

GIST dx and tx

c-kit, cd117


surgery of localized


imatinib

BRCA1/2 testing (3 scenarios)

1. patients diagnosed with breast cancer before age 45 years


2. patients with breast cancer at any age and a family history of breast and/or ovarian cancer


3. patients with triple-negative breast cancers diagnosed before age 60 years.

atypical ductal hyperplasia tx

should be offered breast cancer chemoprophylaxis; exemestane is associated with the greatest reduction in breast cancer risk.


Can also use tamoxifen or reloxifen

mantle radiation breast CA screening

Women who received chest wall radiationbetween the ages of 10 and 30 years are at high risk for developing breast cancer and should be screened with annual mammograms and breast MRIs.


The risk starts 10 years after radiation exposure and peaks 25 to 34 years

small cell paraneoplastic syndromes

SIADH


Cushing


Lambert Eaton

CIN I


CINII


CIN III txs

CIN I: observation vs cryotherapy


CIN II: ablation or excision


CIN III: ablation or escision


after must follow w/ frequent paps, q3-4 ms

Ovarian CA staging

Stage I - confined to ovary


Stage II - extension to adjacent structures in pelvis


Stage III - peritoneal spread


Stage IV - mets outside abdomen

ovarian CA tx

Stage I - surgery


Later stage- surgery + chemo

testicular CA tumor markers

seminomas never produce aFP, may have Bhcg


nonseminomas can produce aFP, bHCG, and LDH

Testical CA late sequelae of therapy

infertility and sexual dysfunction


second primary germ cell tumor


secondary AML


Secondary GI malignancies


metabolic syndrome


kidney disease


peripheral neuropathy

Lung CA staging
