Signs and Symptoms of Breast Cancer
• Mass or “Thickening”• Skin dimpling• Nipple retraction or scaling• Skin erythema or peau d’orange• Focal breast pain – 10%• Spontaneous nipple discharge• Occult mass or calcifications
2
Diagnosis of Breast DiseasesPhysical Examination
• Start with palpation of supraclavicular fossa and then axillary nodes– Initial patient “contact”– Hold arm and elbow while rolling axillary
contents against chest wall• Inspection
– Skin discoloration or edema– Skin dimpling– Nipple retraction

Palpation of the Breast
• Patient supine with ipsilateral hand behind head
• Use 2 hands• Use “pads” of fingers, not fingertips• Systematically examine all breast
tissue

Diagnosis of Breast Complaints
• Physical Examination• Mammography
– Characteristics of the mass– Other masses– CANNOT RULE OUT CANCER –
• 10% false negative rate

Diagnosis of Breast Complaints
• Physical Examination• Mammography
– Characteristics of the mass– Other masses– CANNOT RULE OUT CANCER –
• 10% false negative rate
• Ultrasound - Selectively

Role of Breast Ultrasound
• Can determine whether a mass (occult or palpable) is solid or cystic
• To clarify indeterminate exam or mammogram findings
• Image-guided biopsy/aspiration• NOT as a screening test

Triple Negative Test
• Non-suspicious physical exam (weak link; cannot be a definite mass)
• Negative imaging (mammogram +/- US)• Benign FNA cytology• Nearly 100% accurate – must follow-up
31
Missed Breast CancersTriad of Error
• Young age• Self-discovered mass• Negative mammogram
32
Screening Mammography
• Annually after Age 40• Earlier for strong family history at
young ages– Start 5 years earlier than youngest prior cancer
• NOT just for high risk patients• Emerging role for selective use of
MR Mammography
33
Mammographic Signs of Cancer
• Mass• Calcifications• Dilated duct• Skin changes• Architectural distortion• Asymmetry• Enlarged axillary nodes

Options for Mutation-Positive or Other High Risk Women
• Intensive screening • Chemoprevention• Prophylactic mastectomies +/-
oophorectomies
49
Clues to Effective Chemoprevention
• Estrogen has a role in breast cancer etiology
• Anti-estrogen therapy can cause regression of breast cancers that express hormone receptors
• Tamoxifen, used to decrease recurrence of ER+ breast cancer also decreased incidence of contralateralbreast cancers by almost half

61
Changes in Breast Cancer Surgery Over Time
62
Possible Advantages of BCT• Psychological• Cosmetic• Reduced fear of “mutilation” may
encourage earlier diagnosis
63
True Contraindications to BCT
• Multicentric disease– Diffuse calcifications– Two or more foci in separate quadrants
• Prior breast irradiation• Inability to achieve negative margins• Radiation therapy inaccessible• Patient choice
64
Non-Contraindications to Breast Conserving Therapy
• Extensive intraductal component• High grade histology• Positive nodes• Breast size (too large or too small)• Patient age (too young or too old)• Multi-focal disease• Central location/nipple involved
65
Contraindications to BCT?
• First or second trimester of pregnancy– Can be overcome by delaying RT
• Tumor too large – Can be overcome with primary chemotherapy

Axillary Lymph Node DissectionPurposes• Regional control• Staging:
– Prognosis– Need for systemic therapy
85
Purposes of Axillary Node Dissection
Staging• Most important predictor of
prognosis and need for chemotherapy & regional RT (??)
• Not indicated for DCIS• May not be needed for DCIS with
microinvasion• May not be needed for elderly
86
Axillary Lymph Node Dissection
Who benefits from ALND?• Only patients with positive nodes!• The 60 - 70% of patients with clinically
negative nodes who also have histologically negative nodes derive NO benefit and all the morbidity
87
Axillary Node Dissection for Breast Cancer - Disadvantages
• General anesthesia• Costs; medical and time lost from work• Complications
– Seromas– Drains– Dysesthesias, pain & numbness– Shoulder dysfunction– LYMPHEDEMA (10-20%)
88
89
Sentinel Lymph Node Mappingfor Breast Cancer
• With radionuclide + visible dye:– 90 - 95% success rate– 10% found by isotope OR dye only
• SLN biopsy is >95% accurate• False negative rates are 0 - 11%• If SLN is negative by H&E and IHC,
<3% of patients will have other positive nodes

Staging Work-Up for Breast Cancer

98
Staging Work-Up for Breast Cancer
• For Stage III– Bone scans
• NOT normally indicated:– Bone scans– CT scans– Liver scans– Liver US
99
Adjuvant Systemic Therapy
• Cause of deaths from breast cancer is distant metastases, not local tumor
• To impact metastatic disease, systemic adjuvant treatment is needed– Hormonal therapy– Chemotherapy
100
Adjuvant Therapy & Risk Reduction
Secondary treatment added to primary treatment to reduce the risk of recurrence and death
101
Adjuvant Systemic Therapy -Hormonal
• Not useful for ER-/PR- tumors• Should be offered to most HR+
patients, regardless of age• Ovarian ablation/suppression is an
alternative in pre-menopausal women; adding anti-estrogen may still be beneficial

Adjuvant Systemic Therapy -Chemotherapy
• Chemotherapy is indicated for most women with tumors > 1 cm or with positive nodes• Less benefit for older patients, esp. HR+

Cancer
Women < 50 years old Women 50-69 years old
109
Adjuvant Therapy & Risk Reduction
• Secondary treatment added to primary treatment to reduce the risk of recurrence and death
• Absolute risk reduction:– 40% vs. 30% dead = 10% ARR
• Relative risk reduction– 40% vs. 30% dead = 25% RRR
110
111
Breast Cancer TherapyNew Directions
• Increased dose intensity and density• Altered sequencing (e.g., neoadjuvant)• “Targeted” therapies (e.g., Herceptin)• New prognostic/predictive factors
