Risk Factor – HRT Use • Women 50-64 years of age showed an association between current use of estrogen-only HRT and increased risk of breast cancer (Beral V. Lancet. 2003;362:419-427) • Nurses’ Health Study demonstrated a significantly increased breast cancer risk after long term use (20 years or longer) of estrogen alone (Chen WY, Manson JE, Hankinson SE, et al. Arch Intern Med. 2006;166:1027-1032)
Breast Cancer Work Up History and P.E. Breast Imaging: Mammogram Breast ultrasound Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Breast Cancer Work Up Breast Biopsy Tumor tests: Estrogen receptors Progesterone receptors HER-2/neu/cerb-b2 Other tests: CBC, platelet count, CXR, liver function tests, CT Scan, PET Scan
MRI in Patients with Breast Cancer: Current Applications • Detects cancer that is occult on conventional imaging such as mammography and sonography • In preoperative evaluation, it can detect multifocal and multicentric disease that was previously unsuspected which facilitates accurate staging
For patients who have undergone lumpectomy, it can be helpful in assessment of residual tumor load • Can be helpful to diagnose recurrence when conventional imaging and P.E. are non-confirmatory
Can assess response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy for locally advanced breast ca
Patient selection for preoperative breast MRI: • Young patient • Patient with dense or moderately dense breasts • Patients with difficult tumor histologic findings such as infiltrating lobular carcinoma and tumors with extensive intraductal component in which tumor size assessment is difficult
Tumor Tests • ESTROGEN and PROGESTERONE RECEPTORS - are parts of cells that attach to hormones estrogen and progesterone; serve as “welcome mats” - Hormone Receptor Assay: ER (+) and PR (+) – response rate of 70% ER (+) and PR (-) – response rate of 30% ER (-) and PR (-) – response rate of 10% - tumors that lack either or both of these receptors are more likely to recur than tumors that have them
Tumor Tests • HER-2/neu/cerb-B2 oncogene - codes for a surface membrane receptor that interacts with an unidentified growth factor and is frequently amplified in human breast carcinoma - mapped to chromosome 17
TESTS for HER-2/neu • IMMUNOHISTOCHEMISTRY - test that detects HER-2/neu protein on the surface of the cell by staining the cell with antibodies - can be 0, 1+ (negative), 2+ (borderline), 3+ (positive) - if IHC 2+, have the tissue tested with FISH test
Tests for HER-2/neu • FLOURESCENCE IN SITU HYBRIDIZATION (FISH) - gold standard for confirmatory testing - measures HER-2 gene abnormality - “paints” the HER-2 genes inside the cell so they may be accurately counted - may be (+) or (-) ** All in all, IHC has been shown to miss 15-20% of positive specimens compared with less than 5% with FISH
Only tests IHC 3+ or FISH (+) respond well to therapy that work against HER-2
