Breast cancer screening and prevention
• Breast self examination (BSE)
• Clinical Breast Examination (CBE)
• Mammograms / MRI /USG B/L BREASTS FOR HIGHT RISK
PATIENTS
• Opportunity for woman to
become familiar with her breasts
• Monthly exam of the breasts and
underarm area
• May discover any changes early
• Begin at age 20, continue
monthly
Self Breast Examination Steps
• Menstruating women- 5 to 7 days after the
beginning of their period
• Menopausal women - same date
each month
• Pregnant women – same date each
month
• Takes about 10 minutes
• Perform BSE at least once a month
• Examine all breast tissue
When to do BSE
Self Breast Examination Steps
• Stand before a mirror and look at both
breasts.
• Check for anything unusual, such as
nipple retraction, redness, puckering,
dimpling or scaling of the skin.
• Look for nipple discharge.
• Next, press hands firmly on hips
and lean slightly toward mirror as
you pull your shoulders and
elbows forward with a squeezing
or hugging motion.
• Look for any change in the normal
shape of your breasts.
• Looking in the mirror, raise arms and
rest hands behind head.
• This allows to see the underside of the
breasts
• Place left hand on waist, roll
shoulder forward and reach into
underarm area and check for
enlarged lymph nodes
• Also check the area above and
below clavicle
• To be done on both sides
• Raise left arm.
• Use the pads of three or four fingers of right
hand to examine left breast.
• Use three levels of pressure (light, medium
and firm) while moving in a circular motion.
• Beginning at the outer edge of breast, use
flat part of fingers, moving in circles slowly
around the breast.
• Gradually make smaller and smaller circles
toward the nipple.
• Check behind the nipple as well
Lie flat on back with left arm over head and a pillow or folded
towel under left shoulder
Use three levels of pressure (light, medium and firm) while moving in a circular
motion
Clinical Breast Examination
• Performed by doctor
• Annually for women over 40yrs
• At least every 3 years for women between
20 and 40 yrs
• More frequent examination for high risk
patients
Clinical Breast Examination
Screening Mammography
• Breast cancer screening is
performed in asymptomatic
women so that disease can
be detected earlier
• It was first advocated in
1950s
• In the US, it starts at 40 years
in general population
annual screening may
• For women at high risk,
be
started at an earlier age.
Mammography procedure
Each breast is compressed
horizontally between two plates for
imaging
Each breast is compressed
diagonally between two plates for
imaging
MRI Screening
• The role of MRI screening is rapidly evolving
• ACS guidelines (2011) recommend screening MRI as a supplement
to yearly mammography beginning at age 30 for women who have a
high lifetime risk (>20%–25% risk).
• Routine use of MRI screening for the general population is not
recommended because of the high cost and high false positive rate
• Overall, studies have found high sensitivity for MRI, ranging from
71% to 100% versus 16% to 40% for mammography in high risk
populations
Ultrasound Screening
• Ultrasound is a complementary tool to mammography for the
diagnosis of breast cancer
• The NCCN recommends ultrasound for those women
presenting with a dominant mass or asymmetric thickening or
nodularity
• The role of screening ultrasound is in dense breast
