Presentation Transcript

  1. Works ups • FNAB • percutaneousprocedure that uses a fine gauge needle (22 or 25 gauge) and a syringe to sample fluid from a breast cyst or remove clusters of cells from a solid mass

  2. FNAB This type of biopsy is performed for one of two reasons: - A biopsy is performed on a lump or a tissue-mass when its nature is in question. - For known tumors, this biopsy is performed to assess the effect of treatment or to obtain tissue for special studies.

  3. Mammography • process of using low-dose amplitude-X-rays to examine the human breast and is used as a diagnostic and a screening tool. • early detection of breast cancer, typically through detection of characteristic masses and/or microcalcifications. Screening: 40y/o every 1-2years 50y/o once a year

  4. Mammography Malignant lesions tend to have irregular and (usually) spiculated margins Normal Fatty breast Benign well-defined edges and a halo sign

  5. IN OUR PATIENT Irregular and spiculatedmargins

  6. Chest X-ray •  to check and see whether the cancer has metastasize to the lungs During treatment for breast cancer: • If a person has advanced breast cancer that has spread to the lungs, a chest x-ray is used to check on how the disease is responding to treatment. • For people who develop a fever during chemotherapy, chest x-rays are used to check for the presence of pneumonia. • If a person experiences new shortness of breath in the first few months after radiation therapy, with or without a cough, to see if the radiation caused any inflammation of the lungs.

  7. Ultrasound • method of choice for the differentiation of cysts from solid masses and for guidance in interventional procedures. • Benign: • solid lesions with smooth or lobulated margins that are sharply defined, with homogeneous hypoechoic contents and a horizontal orientation • Malignant: • hypoechoic lesions with irregular and poorly defined margins the lesion is a fibroadenoma

  8. CT scan • may be used as an adjuvant for monitoring spread • effective for the detection of intraductal extension of breast carcinoma and is thought to be useful in the preoperative assessment of indications of breast-conserving surgery.

  9. Bone scan • nuclear scanning test that identifies new areas of bone growth or breakdown • It can be done to evaluate damage to the bones, find cancer that has metastasizedto the bones • monitor conditions that can affect the bones BONE SCAN FINDINGS Confirmed osteoblastic metastatic bone lesions that enhance on radionuclide bone scan

  10. If FNAB is negative, what will you do? • CORE BIOPSY • procedure where a needle is passed through the skin to take a sample of tissue from a mass or lump. • more invasive procedure than FNAB, as it involves a local anaesthetic.
