Nonproliferative Lesions breast lesions
|
Cysts, Papillary apocrine change, Epithelial calcifications, Mild hyperplasia-usual type
|
|
Proliferative breast lesions without Atypia
|
– Moderate/florid hyperplasias
– Intraductal papillomas – Sclerosing adenosis – Radial Scar – Fibroadenomas |
|
Atypical breast Hyperplasias
|
- proliferative lesions that possess some, but not all features of carcinoma insitu
– ADH (features similar to DCIS) – ALH (features seen in LCIS) |
|
Fibroadenomas
|
– Pseudoencapsulated, demarked, ovoid
– Mobile, multilobulated |
|
Adenomas
|
– Well circumscribed tumors of benign epithelium elements with sparse stroma
– Tubular, Lactating, Nipple |
|
Mammory Duct Ectasia
|
- Dilated, thick walls, fibrotic stroma, rupture, leakage of pasty secretion into surrounding tissue -> inflamm and fat necrosis
– Sx are Pain, nipple inversion, greenish D/C |
|
Granulomatous Mastitis
|
– Immune response
– firm tender nodules, capsule – varying imflamm, fibrosis – needs surgery |
|
Mondor’s Disease
|
- phlebitis of the breast
|
|
Diabetic Mastopathy
|
- Autoimmune, painful mass development with fibrotic nodularity
|
|
Cellulitis
|
- from SA
- overweight, large breasted, previous surgery, radiation, sebaceous cysts are RFs |
|
Hydradenitis
|
– extensive, painful “Boils” – from weird sweat glands in black smokers
|
|
Tx of Lactiational Infections
|
– Dicloxcillin, Flucloxacillin, Augmentin, Erythromycin, Clindamycin – Tetracycline, Cipr and Chloremphenicol shouldn’t be used – Continue Breastfeeding – Post I&D w/ General anesthesia: stop
|
|
BRCA1
|
– 17q21 for breast, ovarian
– 1/200-400 w/ 85% lifetime risk – its in > half by age 50 – 1/2 of “inherited” cancers (10% of cancers) – also increased risk of ovarian and colon cancers |
|
BRCA2
|
– 13q breast in women and men
– 70% of inherited not due to BRCA1 – 30-40% lifetime risk |
|
Mucinous (Colloid) Carcinoma
|
– Older women
– Malignant cells in pools of mucin – Better prognosis |
|
Tubular Carcinoma
|
– Younger women – Well differentiated, characterized by haphazardly arranged tubules – Excellent prognosis
|
|
Inflammatory Carcinoma
|
– Invasive carcinoma involving superficial dermal lymphatic spaces
– Erythema and induration of skin – dimpling – Poor prognosis finding |
|
Sentinel Lymph Nodes Identified by
|
Radioactive technetium-labeled sulfur colloid and Isosulfan blue dye
|
|
Herceptin
|
– Recombinant humanized anti-HER2 antibody
– Inhibits growth of breast cancer cells that overexpress c-erbB-2 – Enhances tumoricidal effects of chemo |
|
genes w/ high penetrance for breast cancer
|
BRCA1, BRCA2, P53, Ataxia Telangiectasia mutation (ATM) – PTEN, NBS1, LKB1
|
|
DCIS Management
|
– Can be detected on screening MAMM w/ prognosis favorable
– Mastectomy or Lumpectomy + radiation OK – tamoxifen + lumpectomy + rad decreases recurrence of DCIS & invasive |
|
Tamoxifen
|
– best pre-menopausal women
– Selective ER modulator that blocks effects of E at tumor ERs – E-like effects in other tissues such as bones and the endometrium, and on lipids |
|
Tamoxifen SE’s
|
– altered menses, hot flashes, nausea, fatigue vaginal discharge, cataracts
– risk of thromboembolism, stroke, and uterine cancer (1:160) – most thromboembolic events and strokes were non-fatal – most endometrial cancer are early stage and curable |
|
Ovarian suppression
|
– can be given w/ tamoxifen to pre-menopausal pts
– surgical by bilateral oopherectomy – with radiotherapy, or w/ Gn-RH agonists like goserelin or leuprolide – it reduces risk of recurrence – Benefit of ovarian suppression + tamoxifen unknown |
|
Anastrozole
|
– aromatase inhibitor
– in post-menopausal – more osteoporosis, but lower risk of thromboembolism and stroke |
|
Letrozole
|
– aromatase inhibitor
– in post-menopausal – more osteoporosis, but lower risk of |
|
Exemestane
|
– aromatase inhibitor
– in post-menopausal – more osteoporosis, but lower risk of |
|
AC therapmy
|
– 3rd and 4th gen chemo regemins for breast cancer
– (better, more SE) – every 3 weeks X 4 cycles |
|
Adriamycin
|
– topoisomerase II inhibitor and DNA intercalating -> strand breaks
– causes myelosupression, NandV, mucositis and alopecia, fatigue – rare risk of leukemia and cardiac toxicity |
|
Cyclophosphamide
|
– Alkylating agent binds DNA, cross-links, cell death
– Causes myelosupression, NandV – Rare tox of hemorrhagic cystitis and SIADH |
|
Dose Dense Therapy with AC + Taxol
|
– AC x 4 cycles, then Taxol x 4 cycles
– Given every 2 weeks from theory that 3 wks allows cancer cells to recover, and GFs that allow every 2 wk – good in in LN (+) pts – Paclitaxel may cause peripheral neuropathy, myalgias, and allergies |
|
Her2
|
– does cell signaling and prolif
– Overexpression means more aggressive cancer (in 25 - 30%) |
|
Trastuzumab
|
– (Herceptin)
– a monoclonal Ab against HER2-neu protein |
|
Bevacizumab
|
goes against VEGF and should be used for angiogenesis of breast cancer
|
