SYB 1 Erin Gundersen MS IV
Main Types • In Situ- tumor cells confined to ducts and lobules with no invasion • Ductal • Calcifications • Palpable mass • Lobular • Not palpable, no mammographic appearance • Incidental finding • Increase risk of invasive cancer
Main Types • Invasive Carcinoma- invade breast stroma, can spread or metastasize • Infiltrating ductal — 76 percent • Invasive lobular — 8 percent • Ductal/lobular — 7 percent • Mucinous (colloid) — 2.4 percent • Tubular — 1.5 percent • Medullary — 1.2 percent • Papillary — 1 percent
Mammography • Spiculated soft tissue mass • Most specific- 90% are invasive CA • Clustered microcalcifications- 0.1 to 1 mm in diameter, and numbering more than 4 to 5 per cubic centimeter • Intraductal necrotic tumor • DCIS • Mucin-secreting tumors • Benign- vascular, skin, rim-like, coarse, smooth round or oval
BIRADS diagnostic categories 0- need additional testing 1- negative 2- benign finding 3- probably benign finding 4- suspicious 5- highly suggestive of malignancy 6- biopsy proven carcinoma
Limitations of Mammography • Technique and positioning error • Density of breast tissue • Error in reading • Slow growing tumor
Ultrasound • Uses • Cystic from solid lesions • U/S guided biopsy • Limitations • Not see microcalcification • Miss part of breast tissue
Applications of MRI Screening tool in patients with genetic or familial predisposition Staging of breast cancer Determination of recurrent/residual disease Determination of occult disease
Limitations of MRI • Enhancement during luteal phase • Enhancement with hormone therapy • Difficulty distinguishing benign from malignant • May miss DCIS or invasive lobular
Conclusion • Mammography, ultrasound, and MRI can be used to evaluate breast cancer • Each modality has advantages and limitations • MRI is an evolving diagnostic tool
