    Study Notes

    Breast, Prostate & Reproductive System

    • The presentation covers breast, prostate, and reproductive cancers, along with statistics, risk factors, common conditions, and screening guidelines.

    Cancer Statistics

    • In 2016, an estimated 1,685,210 new cancer cases and 595,690 cancer deaths occurred in the U.S.
    • On average, 4,620 new cancer cases and 1,630 deaths occur daily.

    Leading Cancer Sites (2020 Estimates)

    • Male: Prostate, lung, bronchus, colon and rectum, urinary bladder, melanoma of skin, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, oral cavity and pharynx, leukemia, and pancreas were the leading sites.
    • Female: Breast, lung & bronchus, colon & rectum, uterine corpus, melanoma of the skin, kidney & renal pelvis, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, pancreas, and leukemia were the leading sites.

    Breast Cancer

    • Signs & Symptoms: Often asymptomatic, breast lump/pain, edema in affected arm, weight loss, and bone pain are common.
    • Risk Factors (Non-Modifiable): Gender, age, family history (BRCA1/2), ethnicity, menarche before 12, and menopause after 55.
    • Risk Factors (Modifiable): First pregnancy after 30, alcohol use, hormone replacement therapy (HRT), obesity, inactivity, and radiation exposure.
    • Screening Guidelines: The American Cancer Society (ACS) recommends annual mammograms for women aged 40-44, yearly mammograms for 45-54, and every two years for 55 and older, with good health and expected to live 10 more years. Discussion with a physician is encouraged.

    Cervical Cancer

    • Screening: Cervical cancer testing should begin at age 21. Women aged 21-29 should get a Pap test every 3 years.
    • HPV testing should be used in addition to Pap testing for women aged 30 to 65 every 5 years.
    • For those over 65 with normal results in the last 10 years, testing is not required. If there has been a past serious pre-cancer diagnosis, testing should be continued for 20+ years after diagnosis.

    Prostate Cancer

    • Symptoms/Signs: Typically asymptomatic, urinary frequency, dysuria, hematuria, pain in the low back, hips, or thighs.
    • Risk Factors (Non-Modifiable): Age, gender, race/ethnicity (common in Black men), family/personal history, and geography.
    • Risk Factors (Modifiable): Smoking, diet, lifestyle, BMI, and occupation.
    • Screening Guidelines: The ACS recommends discussion with a physician to weigh testing pros and cons starting at age 50 (45 for African Americans or those with a family history).

    Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy (BPH)

    • A common condition in men.
    • Not cancer-related.
    • Symptoms: difficulty with urination, dribbling, incomplete bladder emptying, nocturia, weak stream, and incontinence.

    Reproductive System

    • Menarche: Average age of onset is 12, but normal range is 9-15. Earlier or later menarche deserves evaluation.
    • Menstruation: Normal cycle typically happens every 21-35 days, with a flow lasting 3-7 days. If heavy flow is experienced frequently, this should be discussed with healthcare provider.
    • Menopause: Cessation of menses for 12 months, without other explanations.. Average age of onset is 51.
    • Other Considerations: Includes subjective factors like sexual history and practices, and health maintenance details.
    • STIs (Sexually Transmitted Infections): Includes symptoms like ulcers, penile discharge, abdominal pain, and systemic symptoms.
    • Sexual Abuse: Includes signs of physical and behavioral changes in regards to physical complaints and behavioral changes.
