Most Common Screening Tests • Mammography • Clinical breast exam • Breast self-exam
Mammography 7 Statistical Models: Mammography reduces the rate of death from breast cancer by 7%–23%, with a median of 15%.1 1. Berry DA, et al. N Eng J Med. 2005;353:1784-1792.
Age Regular screening lowers breast cancer mortality by 15%–20% in women aged 40–49 25%–30% in women aged 50–69 Limited evidence for effectiveness in women aged 70+ Interval Optimal interval unknown Reductions in mortality have occurred at intervals ranging from 12–33 months Many organizations recommend annual screenings for women aged 40–49 Mammography
Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Ultrasound MRI • Annual MRI screening recommended for women with genetic mutations for breast cancer or with other factors that put them at very high risk Ultrasound • Effectiveness not yet demonstrated • Used primarily to • Evaluate breast abnormalities identified through CBE or mammography • Guide breast biopsies and FNA
Ultrasound? Not a Good Stand-Alone Option • 2 of 83 cancers detected solely by annual ultrasonography • 2 additional cancers detected through screenings at 6-month intervals 3 Studies of Women with Hereditary Risk:1 Accessible Mammography Remains Best Screening Option for All Women 1. Berry DA, et al. N Eng J Med. 2005;353:1784-1792.
Mammography Disparities Of Women Aged 50 Years 63.5% with no mobility problems vs. 51.5% with moderate mobility problems and 43.3% with major mobility problems Had mammogram within previous 2 years1 1. Iezzoni LI, et al. Am J of Public Health. 2000;90:955-961.
Reasons for Screening Disparities 1. Inadequate access to facilities and equipment 2. Lack of accessible transportation 3. Difficulty positioning for exams 4. Inability to remain still for exams 5. Lack of provider knowledge and sensitivity about serving women with disabilities 6. Financial restraints, including a lack of adequate health insurance 7. Lack of patient knowledge of breast cancer risk and the need for screening 8. Patient unawareness of free screening programs
Removing Informational Barriers 25%of women with disabilities were not told by their doctor to get a mammogram
Helping Your Patient Prepare • Explain what to expect • Discuss any concerns
Breaking Down Barriers to Mammography Screening • Fully accessible equipment • Staff trained to properly assist women with disabilities • Systems in place for successful positioningduring screening • Systems in place for successful communication during screening An Accessible Imaging Center Should Have:
Clinical Breast Examination • May identify 4.5%–10.7% of breast cancers that mammography misses1 • Clinician proficiency impacts effectiveness1 • Recommendations vary: • American Cancer Society2 • Every 3 years for average-risk women in 20s and 30s • Annually for women aged 40 • U.S. Preventive Services Task Force3 • No recommendation/Not enough evidence • McDonald S, Saslow D, Alciati MH. CA Cancer J Clin. 2004;54:345-361. • Smith, RA, Cokkinides V, Eyre HJ. CA Cancer J Clin. 2005;55:31-44. • U.S. Preventive Services Task Force.

Yes Yes No No Yes No Yes No Yes No Yes No Clinical Breast Exam (CBE) Protocol 7. Breast Palpation: Does client have difficulty positioning arms (due to tremors, contractures, involuntary movement or paralysis)? Does client have difficulty raising arms? • Determine if attendant/friend/and/or family member can be present during exam • Explain each step in simple terms, offer frequent reassurance and praise • Consider demonstrating breast exam on yourself (the provider), if necessary, to assist client in understanding procedure and purpose • Consider recommending taking any prescribed anti-spasmotic, analgesic or anti-anxiety medication 1-2 hours prior to exam or as prescribed 1. Introduction to Exam: Is client highly anxious, fearful or uncomfortable due to cognitive impairments, prior history of sexual abuse, or other reason? Is client likely to experience significant pain or spasticity during the exam? 2. Preparing for Exam: • Does client need assistance with undressing upper body? • Does client refuse to remove or allow clothing to be removed? • Ask permission to position hand above head • Use non-examining hand and/or pillows to stabilize client’s arm at 90°angle • If attendant/friend/ and/or family member is available, he/she may assist in stabilizing arm • If client refuses all of above, perform CBE with arms at sides • Ask client for directions, provide assistance as needed • Consider performing CBE with shirt lifting for visualization • Consider performing modified CBE through clothing with plan to perform thorough CBE at next visit or after client trust becomes established 3. Visual Inspection of the Breasts: May be done standing, seated in wheelchair, or seated on exam table – based on physical ability (balance, posture, endurance, involuntary movement, and transfer) • Offer assistance to hold arms above head • Modify hands on hip position as needed to achieve pectoral muscle contraction • Use support devices to assist client in leaning forward if necessary (e.g., walker or chair) • Offer the client the opportunity to undress in private. If client chooses to undress in your presence, closely observe client when undressing – arms are above head when shirt comes off, and often the pectoral muscles are relaxed and tightened during this process. Often the 4 positions can be observed without intentional client cooperation if the client is anxious. 8. Completion of Exam: Does client need assistance to get off table or dress? 4. Performing the 4 Positions: • Does client have difficulty? • Can the client assist? 5. Lymph Node Exam: • Client seated on table with side rails up, or in wheelchair if has poor balance • Can be performed with shirt pulled above breasts and around neck, or beneath loose clothing when visualization is possible Offer assistance • Ask client for directions, provide skilled assistance as needed.2 • Provide extra pillows or wedges for support as necessary • Encourage client to lie on flat exam table • Try having client sit on exam table then slowly recline back with a good pillow support beneath the head • Consider semi-reclined position with goal of greatest recline as tolerated • Consider performing exam in upright position Finally: • Praise client’s efforts throughout the exam (especially for women with cognitive intellectual limitations) • Discuss findings with client • Describe follow-up schedule and plan to client • Communicate with client’s primary care physician if necessary and appropriate, and if appropriate, her attendant/friend and/or family member 6. Position on Exam Table: • Does client need assistance?1 • Can client lie down? • Recommend electrically controlled, high-low exam table with side rails • Client may prefer to bring own attendant/friend/ and/or family member, or provider has assistance from trained personnel.

Breast Self-Exam • Not shown to have an effect on breast cancer mortality rate1 • U.S. Preventive Services Task Force: Not enough evidenceto recommend for or against BSE2 • ACS and others: Teach women the procedure and give them the option of using it3 • Kosters JP, Gotzsche PC. Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews. 2003;2:CD003373. • U.S. Preventive Services Task Force. Screening for Breast Cancer: Recommendations and Rationale. 2002. • Smith RA, Cokkinides V, Eyre HJ. CA Cancer J Clin. 2005;55:31-44.
Breast Self-Exam Accommodations for Women with Disabilities • Exam can be modified for women who have use of only one hand • Thumbs, palms, or back of fingers can be used instead of finger pads to feel for lumps • Exam can be broken into smaller parts for women who tire easily • Women whose limited mobility precludes breast self-exams may opt for more frequent clinical breast exams Source: Breast Health Access for Women with Disabilities.

Percutaneous Diagnostic Biopsies • Have largely replaced surgical biopsy as initial diagnostic biopsy procedure • Are guided by stereotactic mammographic imaging, ultrasound, or MRI • Are less invasive than surgical biopsy and often reduce need for further surgical procedures • Improve planning for patient’s treatment
Biopsy Barriers A Woman Must be Able to… • Remain still for 45–60 minutes, either sitting, prone, or supine • Hyperextend arm • Turn neck • Get up onto the biopsy table
Biopsy Accommodations: Stereotactic Add-on Devices Digital Mammogram Unit Stereotactic Biopsy Table
Biopsy Accommodations: Ultrasound in Seated Position Stretcher for supine or semi-upright biopsy
Summary • Using an accessible format, communicate the need for regular mammograms to your patients with disabilities • Identify fully accessible mammography centers in your area. Alert them to a patient’s mobility or communication issues before the patient goes to the screening • Adapt the clinical breast exam to meet the special needs of your patients with disabilities • Teach your patients how to modify the breast self-exam to accommodate their particular disability • Help ensure that accommodations are made for your patients with disabilities so they have successful breast biopsies
