00:02
disorders of the breast breast diseases
00:04
encompass a broad spectrum of pathology
00:06
from benign breast disease to breast
00:08
cancer breast care often involves a
00:11
multidisciplinary approach obstetrician
00:13
gynecologists are often the first person
00:15
that a woman consults for breast related
00:17
signs and symptoms the objectives of
00:19
this video are to list factors that
00:21
place individuals at risk for breast
00:23
disorders to describe symptoms and
00:25
physical exam findings of benign or
00:26
malignant conditions of the breast to
00:29
demonstrate the performance of a
00:30
clinical breast examination discuss the
00:32
steps in the evaluation of common breast
00:34
complaints of nostalgia mass nipple
00:37
discharge and discuss initial management
00:38
options for benign and malignant
00:40
conditions of the breast let’s start
00:42
with a review of breast anatomy here is
00:44
the breast and it is organized into 12
00:46
to 20 lobes with glandular or lobular
00:49
tissues the lobules have clusters with
00:51
secretory cells arranged in alveolar
00:53
pattern and are surrounded by
00:54
myoepithelial cells the glands drain
00:57
into milk ducts with about five to ten
00:59
collecting ducts that lead to or drain
01:01
into the nipple typically breast cancer
01:03
arises in the glandular or lobular unit
01:06
of the breast and there is a
01:07
disproportionate amount of glandular
01:08
tissue in the upper outer quadrant of
01:10
each breast
01:11
this is why breast cancer most commonly
01:13
arises in the upper outer quadrant in
01:15
young women the breast consists
01:17
predominantly of glandular tissue with
01:19
age the glands involute and are replaced
01:21
by fat and this process is accelerated
01:23
by menopause the two most common
01:25
complaints related to breasts are one
01:27
pain and two concern about a mass it is
01:30
important to take a careful history
01:32
let’s review some risk factors for
01:34
breast cancer age is the strongest risk
01:37
factor a personal history of breast
01:40
cancer an inherited genetic mutation
01:43
such as brca1 or brca2 high breast
01:47
tissue density a first-degree relative
01:49
with breast or ovarian cancer diagnosed
01:52
at an early age early menarchy late
01:55
menopause no term pregnancies first
01:59
pregnancy after the age of 30 and never
02:01
having breast fed a complete breast
02:04
examination should evaluate both breasts
02:06
in a systematic fashion
02:07
both axilla and the entire chest wall
02:09
various techniques have been described
02:11
for the palpation of breast tissue
02:13
including circles wedges and line
02:15
patterns of examination the best time to
02:18
perform a breast examination is ideally
02:20
in the follicular phase of the menstrual
02:21
cycle let’s now discuss diagnostic
02:24
testing mammography is an x-ray
02:26
technique that is first line imaging for
02:28
women older than 40 it is able to detect
02:30
lesions approximately two years before
02:32
they become palpable mammography can be
02:35
screening or it can be a diagnostic test
02:37
which involves additional views
02:39
ultrasound is especially helpful for
02:41
women younger than 40 and it is useful
02:43
in evaluating inconclusive mammographic
02:45
findings MRI is useful for women who are
02:49
at extremely high risk of developing
02:50
breast cancer for example BRCA carriers
02:53
we will now discuss some common breast
02:55
complaints starting with nostalgia or
02:57
breast pain nostalgia can be cyclic or
03:00
non cyclic the cyclic pain often
03:02
involves the luteal phase of the
03:04
menstrual cycle and the pain is often in
03:06
the outer quadrants of the breasts
03:08
non-cyclic nostalgia is not associated
03:10
with the menstrual cycle and it can be
03:12
associated with medications including
03:13
antidepressants antihypertensive drugs
03:15
and hormones it can also be associated
03:17
with tumors mastitis cysts history of
03:21
breast surgery or it can be idiopathic
03:23
extra memory pain is pain that does not
03:26
arise from the breast tissues and it can
03:27
arise from chest wall trauma rib
03:29
fractures shingles or fibromyalgia the
03:32
non pharmacologic treatments for mast
03:34
algae include a tight-fitting bra or
03:37
sports bra weight reduction and regular
03:39
exercise the only fda-approved
03:42
medication for nostalgia is Dan Issel
03:44
but this medication has significant side
03:46
effects moving now to nipple discharge
03:49
it is important to ask the patient if
03:52
the discharge is spontaneous or
03:53
expressed if it’s bilateral or
03:55
unilateral Yoona ductile or multi
03:58
ductile and the color whether it’s white
04:00
green yellow clear or bloody and is
04:03
there a mass present or not benign
04:06
processes cause non spontaneous non
04:09
bloody green yellow or brown discharge
04:11
that can be bilateral bloody unilateral
04:15
nipple discharge would be more
04:16
concerning for cancer and the next step
04:18
would be a breast duct ography let’s now
04:21
discuss the breast mass characteristics
04:24
of the mass that suggest malignancy or
04:26
size
04:27
greater than two centimeters in mobility
04:28
having poorly defined margins firmness
04:31
having skin dimpling or color changes
04:34
retraction or changes in the nipple
04:36
bloody nipple discharge and EPSA lateral
04:39
lymph adenopathy if the mass appears
04:41
suspicious then the next step will be a
04:43
biopsy and this is usually a core needle
04:45
biopsy there are three histological
04:47
categories of benign breast masses the
04:49
classifications are based on the degree
04:51
of cellular proliferation and a tibia
04:54
non proliferated masses have a relative
04:57
risk of developing breast cancer of one
04:59
these are fibrocystic changes
05:01
fibroadenomas cysts fibrosis and AD
05:04
enosis the masses that are found to be
05:06
proliferative without atypia have a
05:08
relative risk of developing breast
05:10
cancer of 1.5 to 2 these include
05:12
epithelial hyperplasia sclerosing at
05:15
enosis complex sclerosing lesions and
05:18
papillomas the third category is
05:20
proliferative with atypia
05:22
if the cells have atypical hyperplasia
05:24
the relative risk of developing breast
05:26
cancer is 3.7 to 5.3 there is atypical
05:30
ductal hyperplasia or ADH and atypical
05:33
lobular hyperplasia or a LH lobular
05:36
carcinoma in situ is sometimes
05:38
classified in the proliferative with
05:40
atypia category it is a non invasive
05:42
lesion that carries a risk of breast
05:44
cancer in the ipsilateral or the
05:46
contralateral breast with a relative
05:48
risk of two moving now to management if
05:51
the core needle biopsy demonstrates
05:53
atypical ductal hyperplasia atypical
05:55
lobular hyperplasia or lobular carcinoma
05:58
in situ then a surgical excision is
06:00
needed to avoid underestimation of the
06:02
diagnosis if the diagnoses are confirmed
06:05
the next steps will be close
06:07
surveillance lifestyle and diet changes
06:08
and chemo prevention is an option with a
06:11
selective estrogen receptor modulator we
06:14
will conclude by discussing breast
06:15
cancer it is the second most common
06:17
malignancy and women and is the second
06:19
leading cause of cancer-related death in
06:21
women there are three histological cell
06:24
types of breast cancer ductal lobular
06:26
and nipple and 70 to 80 percent of
06:29
cancers are ductal in origin treatment
06:32
of breast cancer often involves both
06:34
surgical and medical therapies surgical
06:37
therapy options include lumpectomy and
06:39
radiation or mess
06:40
to me and medical therapy options
06:42
include chemotherapy and hormonal
06:44
therapies this concludes the aapko video
06:47
on breast disorders we have discussed
06:49
important risk factors symptoms and
06:51
physical exam findings of benign and
06:53
malignant conditions of the breast
