  2. Breast Cancer Screening Marianne McKennett, M.D. Scripps FM Residency Program San Diego Border Area Health Education Center February 14, 2013

  3. Workshop Goals • Breast Cancer Epidemiology and Disparities • Risk Assessment • Evidence-Based Breast Cancer Screening • SBE • CBE • Mammography • CBE- Clinical Breast Exam Competencies

  4. Evidence Based-Breast CA Screening • Risk Assessment • SBE - Self Breast Exam • CBE - Clinical Breast Exam • Mammography • Ultrasound • MRI - Magnetic Resonance Imaging

  5. A healthy, 42-year-old white woman wants to discuss breast-cancer screening. She has no breast symptoms, had menarche at the age of 14 years, gave birth to her first child at the age of 26 years, is moderately overweight, drinks two glasses of wine most evenings, and has no family history of breast or ovarian cancer. She has never undergone mammography. She notes that a friend who maintained the “healthiest lifestyle possible” is now being treated for metastatic breast cancer, and she wants to avoid the same fate. What would you advise?

  6. Breast Cancer Epidemiology • Most commonly diagnosed cancer in women • Second leading cause of cancer death in women • Breast cancer dx increasing 0.3% per year (1990) • USA 1 in 8 chance of invasive breast CA in lifetime • Mortality decreasing 2.3% annually • 1999 age-adjusted mortality 27/100,000 population • 46% estimated due to screening • Rest due to treatment such as chemotherapy and tamoxifen/femara

  7. Ethnic Disparities • Age adjusted breast cancer incidence is greater in White vs Black women • Mortality rates are higher in Black women • 1995-2001: 64% white women and 53% Black localized disease at diagnosis • SD County study in Hispanic women-later stage at dx especially in younger than 50 yrs

  8. Why Disparities? • Lower Socio-economic status (SES) • Lower Education Level • Less access to screening and treatment • MediCaid recipients and uninsured have later stage at Dx and decreased survival from time of diagnosis • Hispanic women have lower rates of screening at all income levels

  9. Community Screening • Achieve high participation rate of screening • Cochrane review of 151 articles • 59 articles describing 70 community-based trials were accepted for review • Five active strategies showed improved rates • Letter of invitation • Mailed educational materials • Invitation and phone call • Phone call • Training activities and direct reminders

  10. Risk Assessment • Risk Calculation/Individual • Age • First degree relative with breast or ovarian cancer • Previous breast biopsies • Age at menarche - early • Age at first delivery - late

  11. Risk Factors for Breast Cancer. Breast Cancer Risk Factors Warner E. N Engl J Med 2011;365:1025-1032

  12. Risk “Calculators” • National Cancer Institute online tool • Estimate five-year and lifetime risk • http://www.cancer.gov/bcrisktool • 5-year risk of 1.66 % or higher is high-risk • More specific tools are available for BRCA1 or BRCA2 risks

  13. Age-Specific Incidence of Invasive Breast Cancer per 1000 Women per Year in the United States. Warner E. N Engl J Med 2011;365:1025-1032

  14. Chances of the Development of and Death from Breast Cancer within the Next 10 Years. Fletcher SW, Elmore JG. N Engl J Med 2003;348:1672-1680.

  15. Recommendations Regarding Breast-Cancer Screening in Women Age-related Screening Fletcher S and Elmore J. N Engl J Med 2003;348:1672-1680

  16. Breast Self Exam BSE • Large trials show no reduction in breast cancer or all-cause mortality • (CI 0.9-1.24) Cochrane Review • 388,535 women represented in Russia and Shanghai studies • SBE vs no intervention • Twice as many benign biopsies in SBE

  17. BSE Recommendations • Cochrane review of studies concluded increased # biopsies led to harm • USPSTF recommends against teaching SBE - D recommendation • ACS - American Cancer Society - SBE is an option for some women in order to know what is normal • Teach correctly if woman chooses BSE

  18. Clinical Breast Exam - CBE • Studies suggest 5% of breast cancers are identified by CBE alone • Community-based study 4% of women with abnormal CBE had cancer • Canadian National Breast CA study used CBE with and without mammo and found similar mortality • USPSTF found insufficient evidence “I”

  19. CBE Contribution • CBE contribution to breast cancer detection independent of mammogram • Variation in CBE technique affects outcomes (29% sens/ 33% spec) • Detection of small breast masses by residents improved with standardized training in a silicone breast model

  20. Mammography • Eight randomized trials have addressed effectiveness of mammography • Cochrane Breast Cancer Group (7) • RR of all 7 trials combined was 0.81 • Breast cancer mortality was unreliable • Numbers of lumpectomies and mastectomies increased in screened • XRT also increased

  21. Relative Risk of Death from Breast Cancer, Number Needed to Invite to Screening, and Rates of False Positive and False Negative Results, According to Age. Warner E. N Engl J Med 2011;365:1025-1032

  22. Cochrane Conclusions • Screening is likely to reduce Breast CA mortality • 15% reduction = ARR of 0.05% • Screening 30% overdiagnosis = ARI 0.5% (ie: DCIS) • 2000 women over 10 yrs, 1 will have life prolonged 10 women treated unnecessarily, 200 psych distress false

  23. Women 50-69 years • Universal recommendation for screening • Meta-analysis clear for women in 60’s • Subgroup in 50’s less clear • Meta-analysis • 50’s 14% reduction in Breast CA deaths • 60’s 32% reduction in Breast CA deaths

  24. Women 70 yrs and Older • Data more limited- 70-74 yrs • Agreement against screening with increased co-morbidities • Swedish national screening program • Relative risk of death invited to screen 1.08 • CISNET: 2 additional deaths/1000 women

  25. Age 40 - 49 years • No single randomized trial shows benefit • Meta-analysis including 40’s showed 15-20% risk reduction • Screening in 40’s but diagnosis in 50’s? • “Age” trial looked at only 39-48 years • Non-significant reduction in death at 10 yrs (RR 0.83 CI 0.66-1.04)

  26. Controversy Women in 40’s • Less effect of mammography • Breast density (decrease sensitivity) • Faster spread of cancer in younger women • Begin screening in 40’s, Dx in 50’s? • Meta: decrease 15 yr mortality by 20% • Screening most effective after age 55

  27. Mammography Technique • Digital vs Film mammography • Contrast between tumor and tissue • DMIST study: equal sensitivity and specificity • Under age 50 yrs: digital significantly more sensitive (78% vs 51%) • Premenopausal or denser breasts

  28. Recommendations • ACS - women age 40 and older should have a mammogram yearly while in good health • USPSTF - The USPSTF recommends biennial screening mammography for women aged 50 to 74 years. B • Screening before age 50 is individual

  29. Guidelines for Breast-Cancer Screening. Warner E. N Engl J Med 2011;365:1025-1032

  30. Bias in Early Detection • Lead time bias: Survival time includes time between detection and when would have been found clinically • Length bias: preclinical detection • Over-diagnosis bias: may never be found or DCIS • Healthy volunteer bias: screened population may be healthier or more health conscious

  31. Risks Mammography • False positive results • 11% abnormal, 3% CA • Increase anxiety, fear, healthcare visits • Overdiagnosis-ductal carcinoma in-situ • Pain • Radiation: 10 yrs x 10,000 women=1 breast CA • False negative results: more common in young women

  32. Risks Associated with Mammography. Risks of Mammography Warner E. N Engl J Med 2011;365:1025-1032

  33. Chances of False Positive Mammograms, Need for Biopsies, and Development of Breast Cancer among 1000 Women Who Undergo Annual Mammography for 10 Years Fletcher S and Elmore J. N Engl J Med 2003;348:1672-1680

  34. Chances of Breast-Cancer-Related Outcomes among 1000 Women Who Undergo Annual Mammography for 10 Years Fletcher S and Elmore J. N Engl J Med 2003;348:1672-1680

  35. Other Modalities • Ultrasonography • Considered as screening/diagnostic tool for younger women • European Group for Breast CA screening concluded no role for SCREENING • Not the same as work-up of abnormal findings

  36. MRI ACS Recommendations • Women with a BRCA mutation • Women with first degree relative with BRCA mutation • 20-25% or greater lifetime risk for breast CA • Women exposed to chest radiation between ages of 10 and 30 yrs • Adjunct evaluation in complicated situations

  37. What to Recommend • Shared decision making • Risk assessment • Begin discussions at age 40 • Collaborative decision making especially important from age 40-49 • What would you advise patient in clinical scenario - 42y/o healthy woman

  38. CBE Proficiency

  39. CBE Purpose: Early Detection • Correlate with mammogram for complete screening (w/in 3 mos) • Masses missed by mammography • Masses detected by women • Abnormalities in women who refuse mammography or are not age appropriate

  40. Common Palpation Problems • Pattern of search does not adequately cover perimeter • Missing the axillary tail • Not palpating the nipple/areolar complex • No or inconsistent pressure

  41. Sensitivity and SpecificityOR(Find it but don’t over call it) Early detection of abnormal masses will vary depending on: • Skill and experience of the examiner • Duration of exam (time) • Characteristics of breast being examined

  42. An inadequate breast exam gives the woman a false sense of security!

  43. PERIMETER • Mid-axilla • Inframammary ridge • Sternum • Clavicle • Connecting line

  44. PATTERN Sternum Clavicle Inframammary Ridge START HERE Mid-axilla VERTICAL STRIP

  45. PALPATION • Examine from same side as the breast • One hand for the examination • Body mechanics are important

  46. PALPATION (cont) Pads of three middle fingers, hand bowed up Dime size circles JAMA, Vol. 282, No 13, Oct. 1999 Slide between palpations without lifting fingers

  47. PRESSURE LIGHT (skin) MEDIUM (tissue) DEEP (bone) JAMA, Vol. 282, No 13, Oct. 1999
