Biopsy (Large bore needle) Invasive ductal carcinoma, Nottingham combined histologic grade III
Preoperative diagnosis • Invasive ductal carcinoma, Stage IIB, T3 N0 M0
Invasive ductal carcinoma • Most common malignant tumor (80%) • Most often present as a palpable mass or mammographic abnormality • Feel like a hard, bumpy, movable, irregularly-shaped lump beneath the areola
Risk factors • Reproductive factors • Age at menarche • Menstrual cycle characteristics • Pregnancy and age at first full-term pregnancy • Nulliparous • Late age at first full-term pregnancy • Number and spacing of births • Lactation/ breastfeeding • Age at menopause
Risk factors • Oral contraceptives • Duration of use • Use before a first full-term pregnancy or at an early age • Postmenopausal hormone use • Dietary factors • Dietary fat intake • Obesity • Dietary fiber • Vitamin A • Alcohol: >1 drink/day
Risk factors • Physical activity: >3 hours/week • Ionizing radiation • Environmental pollution • Organochlorines • Active and passive smoking • Silicone breast implants • Family history (mother and sister, first degree relative) • Jewish heritage • Benign breast disease
Invasive ductal carcinoma • Has a tendency to metastasize via lymphatics • Lymph nodes • Contralateral breast • Liver • Lungs • Bones (vertebra) • Brain
Diagnostics • Chest x-ray • Normal chest findings • ECG • Non-specific ST-T wave changes
Modified radical mastectomy • To avoid ay chance of local/regional recurrence • To maximize options for breast reconstruction • Most widely used surgical procedure to treat operable breast cancer • Removes the breast, surrounding tissue and nearby lymph nodes • Leaves the pectoralis major intact • Avoids disfiguring hollow defect below the clavicle
Prognosis • Five-year survival rates are highly correlated with tumor stage: • Stage 0: 99-100% • Stage I: 95-100% • Stage II: 86% • Stage III: 57% • Stage IV: 20%
