Breast Health N191 Adapted by Kasey Williamson, MSN, RN, RNC-OB Breast Self Exam Consistent BSE may facilitate breast self- awareness Normal look and feel of breasts Review technique regularly through return demonstration Copyright © 2017, Elsevier Inc. All Rights Reserved. Breast Self Exam Copyright © 2017, Elsevier Inc. All Rights Reserved. Breast Cancer: Screening Guidelines Yearlymammograms for average-risk women ◦Starting at age 45 unless changes observed ◦Yearly ages 45-54 ◦Every 2 yr ≥ 55 ◦Continue screening mammograms as long as overall health is good Copyright © 2017, Elsevier Inc. All Rights Reserved. Breast Cancer: Screening Guidelines Women at ↑ risk Earlier mammography screening Breast MRI More frequent CBEs (clinical breast exams) Copyright © 2017, Elsevier Inc. All Rights Reserved. Screening Mammogram Screening mammogram showing dense breast tissue and benign, scattered microcalcifications of a 57-year-old. A, Using conventional x-rays. B, Using digital x-rays. (From Adam A, Dixon AK, Grainger RG, et al: Grainger and Allison’s diagnostic radiology, ed 5,©St2017, Copyright Louis,Elsevier 2008, Churchill Inc. AllLivingstone.) Rights Reserved. Diagnostic Studies Radiologic studies ◦Mammography first ◦Ultrasonography most common / cost effective ◦MRI Copyright © 2017, Elsevier Inc. All Rights Reserved. Diagnostic Studies Mammography ◦Comparison of images Early tissue changes ◦About 10% to 15% of all breast cancers cannot be seen and need follow-up by palpation, ultrasonography, MRI, or biopsy Copyright © 2017, Elsevier Inc. All Rights Reserved. Benign Breast Disorders: Breast Infections ◦Mastitis Inflammatory condition that occurs most frequently in lactating women Localized S/S (red/hot/painful) Fever is often present Tx: prompt antibiotics Copyright © 2017, Elsevier Inc.

Benign Breast Disorders: Fibrocystic Changes Nursing/Interprofessional Mgmt ◦Excisional biopsy Usually performed in an outpatient surgery unit Teach: Will come and go with menstruation Reassure her that the cysts do not “turn into” cancer Benign Breast Disorders: Gynecomastia in Men Transient, noninflammatory (comes & goes) enlargement of 1 or both breasts ◦ Most common breast problem in men ◦ Usually a temporary, benign condition ◦ Not a risk factor for breast cancer Can occur in puberty May be a manifestation of other Copyright © 2017, Elsevier Inc. All problems Rights Reserved. Benign Breast Disorders: Senescent Gynecomastia Occurs in many older men ◦Probably caused by plasma estrogen elevation ◦Tender, firm, centrally located enlargement ◦Usually regresses in 6 to 12 months ◦Biopsy can rule out breast cancer Copyright © 2017, Elsevier Inc.

Breast Cancer Detected as lump, thickening, or mammography abnormality in breast ◦ Nipple retration ◦ Peau d’orange = orange peel like skin ◦ dimpling Rate of lesion growth varies ◦ Slow-growing = lower mortality rates Copyright © 2017, Elsevier Inc. All Right s Reserved. Breast Cancer: Where it Occurs Copyright © 2017, Elsevier Inc. All Rights Reserved. Breast Cancer Diagnostic Studies ◦Biopsy Fine-needle aspiration (FNA) Core needle biopsy Vacuum-assisted biopsy Excisional biopsy Copyright © 2017, Elsevier Inc. All Rights Reserved. Types of Breast Cancer Based on Invasiveness Ductal Carcinomas ◦Noninvasive (in situ) ◦Invasive (spreading to other locations) Most Common Copyright © 2017, Elsevier Inc. All Rights Reserved. Inflammatory Breast Cancer Aggressive and fast growing High risk for metastasis Lymph channels in skin of breast become blocked by cancer cells ◦Breast looks red, feels warm ◦Breast skin has a thickened appearance, resembling an orange peel Copyright © 2017, Elsevier Inc.

Diagnostic Studies Axillary lymph node analysis ◦The more lymph nodes involved, the greater the risk of recurrence Tumor size ◦Larger the tumor, poorer the prognosis Bigger chance of moving to other organs Copyright © 2017, Elsevier Inc.
