  1. Breast Cancer By: Vincent Russo And Scott Jeffery

  2. Introduction Impact What is Breast Cancer? Breast Cancer Symbol

  3. Effected Areas Ductal Cancer Carry Milk Lobule Cancer Make Milk

  4. Genes Involved • BRCA-1 • Breast cancer early onset • BRCA2 • Tumor suppressors • Tumor Suppressor- help prevent cells from grow and dividing too rapidly or in an uncontrolled way. • CDH1 • Instructions Epithelial Cadherin • E-Cadherin- binds cells to make tissue • PTEN • Instructions Proteins

  5. Genes ( Continued) • STK11 • Instructions Serine/threoninekinase 11 • Serine/threoninekinase 11- prevents tumors • TP53 • Instructions P53 Tumor Suppressor

  6. Symptoms Lumps Swelling Rash Itchy/Dry Red or Blotchy

  7. Diagnosis • Mammogram • Breast MRI • Biopsy

  8. Stages Stage 0- cancer has not spread (non-invasive) Stage I- cancer spreads to different areas (invasive) Up to 2 centimeters No lymph nodes involved Stage II- invasive IIA- cancer cells are in axillary lymph nodes, not in breast OR tumor is up to 2cm, spread to axillary lymph nodes OR larger than 2cm less than 5cm to axillary lymph nodes IIB- tumor larger than 2cm less than 5cm and has not spread to axillarylympth nodes OR larger than 5cm and has not spread to axillary lymph nodes

  9. Stages (Continued) • Stage III- Invasive • IIIA- spread to lymph nodes near breast bone, OR 5cm or less and spread to other structures, Or larger than 5cm and spread to other structures. • IIIB- any size and spread to chest wall and/or skin, OR may spread to axillarylympth nodes clumped to other structures, may spread to lympth nodes near breastbone • IIIC- may have no sign of cancer in breast, if so may spread to chest wall or skin OR spread to lympth nodes above or below collorbone AND may spread to axillarylympth nodes or lympth nodes near breastbone • Stage IV- spread to other organs (invasive)

  10. Complications Blockage Spreading

  11. Prevalence/Epidemiology Age Gender Ethnic Group Statistics

  12. Prevention Check Breasts Annual Examines Mammograms Drugs/ Smoking/ Alcohol Exercise

  13. Treatment Chemotherapy Radiation Therapy

  14. Awareness Walks Commercials Sponsors Days
