Breast Self Examination can pick up suspicious lumps and nipple discharges

Active cells, which often indicate rapid cancer growth, take up the radioactive material. This helps radiologists identify areas where cells are suspiciously active, which can indicate cancer

SENTINEL LYMPH NODE DISSECTIONremove only the one node that is most likely to have it. If this node is clean, chances are the other nodes have not been affected. In reality, the surgeon usually removes a cluster of two or three nodes—the sentinel node and those closest to it.

Stage IIIB is defined as T4 any N M0 or any T N3 M0.

Other Diagnostic Techniques
• Tumor markers CA 15.3, CA125, CA 27.29 (early indicator of disease progression or
recurrence)
• Chest X-Ray-Spread to lungs and heart-Assess lungs before anaesthesia and chemotherapy-Assess infections and radiation induced pneumonia
• Bone scintigraphy(bone scan) -detect the presence of bone metastases -evaluate persistent or progressive bone pain-different from a bone density study (DEXA scan is the most popular type),
which evaluates bone strength and your risk of osteoporosis-not necessary for DCIS

Ductal Lavage
- suction is applied to the nipple to bring out fluid from the many little milk ducts that end in the nipple.
- small canula, or tiny tube, is placed into the milk duct, and then fluid is washed into the duct to rinse out cells.
- This fluid is then pulled back out of the nipple and sent to the laboratory for evaluation under the microscope. Some call this technique a "Pap smear" of the breast.

Sestamibi complements mammography—it will not replace it.
• Sestamibi also called Miraluma are using to detect active breast cancer cells, in the breast and in other parts of the body
• Injection of a radioactive substance called technetium 99. This substance, which emits low levels of radiation, gets picked up by tumors, so radiologists can see the tumors on film
• Sestamibi does not detect calcification

Patients’ Bill of Right• A diagnosis within a week of a suspicious mammogram and biopsy.
You'll want a quick diagnosis to allay your anxiety.
• A prompt referral by your family doctor to a breast specialist or team specializing in breast cancer
• A breast specialist with whom you feel comfortable
• A specific diagnosis. You know you have breast cancer, but you need to know its attributes
• A second opinion
• A copy of medical records, including your pathology report
![Page 46: Diagnosis, Staging, and Grading of Breast Cancer Francis Ikpatt](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051001/56649c935503460f9494eea3/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Patients’ Bill of Right
• Information about your condition and treatment options in language you understand
• Know the scientific evidence behind your doctor's treatment recommendation, and the strength of that evidence
• Information about the benefits and risks of a particular treatment in your case-including the benefits and risks of not having the treatment.
• A referral to another breast specialist if you're having trouble communicating with your doctor.
![Page 47: Diagnosis, Staging, and Grading of Breast Cancer Francis Ikpatt](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051001/56649c935503460f9494eea3/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Pathologists In Medical Malpractice Cases
• Pathologists are responsible for making or confirming the diagnosis of cancer
• malpractice often involves cancer diagnosis• Misdiagnosing a benign condition as cancer can
subject a patient to debilitating tx and the emotional trauma of a death sentence
• Misdiagnosing cancer as a benign condition can result in delay in diagnosis, allowing a curable cancer to become incurable.
![Page 48: Diagnosis, Staging, and Grading of Breast Cancer Francis Ikpatt](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051001/56649c935503460f9494eea3/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Medical Malpractice and Breast Cancer
• Too many women have their breast cancer diagnosis delayed when the physician and other health care providers in whose hands such women entrust their well-being fail to
• perform appropriate screening tests• properly interpret test results• take necessary steps when bc is suspected• when this happens, the physician or other health care
provider are negligent. • the tragic result of this negligence is too often the loss of
treatment options and/or the loss of chance of survival.
![Page 49: Diagnosis, Staging, and Grading of Breast Cancer Francis Ikpatt](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051001/56649c935503460f9494eea3/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Failure to diagnose breast cancer
• 40 percent of all medical malpractice suits filed in 1999.
• Several of the top ten lawsuits settled (over 1 million dollars) in Massachusetts involved medical malpractice where a physician failed to identify, in a timely manner, a serious case of breast cancer.
• is a form of medical malpractice, which is the negligent or incorrect performance of the professional duties of health care providers and institutions.
• there are four prerequisites for a valid claim of medical malpractice:
1) A provider-patient relationship existed; 2) Negligent care was rendered; 3) the patient suffered damage or harm; 4) and the damage or harm done to the patient was a direct result of the negligent care.
![Page 50: Diagnosis, Staging, and Grading of Breast Cancer Francis Ikpatt](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051001/56649c935503460f9494eea3/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Reasons why doctors misdiagnose breast cancer.
• relying too much on a woman's age as a predicting factor for breast cancer.
• relying too heavily on negative mammogram results, even if the woman has felt a lump.
• don't take woman seriously when they complain of symptoms.
![Page 51: Diagnosis, Staging, and Grading of Breast Cancer Francis Ikpatt](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051001/56649c935503460f9494eea3/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Suggestions
• There is an epidemic of undiagnosed cancer in this country. Much is due to doctor negligence.
• seek medical attention immediately if observed a lump
• tests should be ordered to determine whether there is a malignancy
• With doubt allow the second doctor to form an opinion
• "Time is of the essence”
