In addition 48,100 cases of DCIS will be diagnosed among women











👉A BRCA gene mutation is the most commonly identified clinically actionable result of any gene test.
👉A family history of a combination of early-onset gastric cancer and infiltrating lobular carcinoma of the breast should raise concern for hereditary diffuse gastric cancer syndrome.
👉This syndrome is caused by a mutation in the CDH1 (E-cadherin) gene.
👉Lifetime risk for signet cell diffuse gastric cancer is estimated at 70% and infiltrating lobular carcinoma at 40%.
👉Prophylactic gastrectomy is recommended for CDH1 mutation carriers with a family history of diffuse gastric cancer.
👉CDH1-mutated families with multiple (and often bilateral) infiltrating lobular cancers, but no gastric cancers, are increasingly recognized.
👉Enhanced surveillance with breast magnetic resonance imaging is recommended for women with CDH1 mutations.

👉Cowden syndrome is caused by mutation in the PTEN gene.
👉It is one of the few breast cancer predisposition syndromes with a clinically recognizable phenotype. (Peutz-Jeghers syndrome is another.)
👉Clinical features include extreme macrocephaly (head circumference >60 cm), multiple facial tricholemmomas (small skin-colored papules) and a family history of thyroid cancer before age 20 years or endometrial cancer before age 30 years.


👉It is a very rare syndrome, with only six cases identified among 2079 recently reported multigene panel tests.
👉It is clinically important, however, because the lifetime breast cancer risk may be as high as 85% and affected individuals have a very high risk of endometrial and thyroid cancer as well as a moderately increased risk of colorectal cancer and melanoma.
👉Current American Cancer Society guidelines support enhanced surveillance with annual mammogram and magnetic resonance imaging for women with PTEN mutations, though the timing of when this should begin is vague.
👉Data by Riegert-Johnson et al. suggest screening should commence around age 35 years as this is the time that the risk of breast cancer starts to increase.
👉Even after a cancer diagnosis, individuals with Cowden syndrome remain at increased risk of a variety of second primary cancers, especially breast, thyroid, and endometrial.

👉The U.S. population distribution of breast density is as follows:
👉Women with heterogeneously dense or extremely dense breasts are considered to have “dense breasts.”
👉Sensitivity of mammography decreases as breast density increases.
👉Increased breast density not only has a masking effect which may obscure masses, but also serves as an independent risk factor for breast cancer.
👉It has been reported that the increased risk may be as much as 4- to 6-fold.
👉Estimates this high are obtained when comparing women with dense breasts to those with fatty replaced breasts.
👉Since only 10% of women have fatty replaced breasts, it makes more sense to make the comparison with women of average breast density.
👉The relative risk for cancer in women with heterogeneously dense breasts compared with the average woman is approximately 1.2, and the relative risk for cancer in women with extremely dense breasts compared with the average woman is approximately 2.1.
👉In general, breast density decreases with increasing age and increasing body mass index, so it is not the absolute density that is a risk factor, but the difference in the observed and expected density—the so called “residual density.”
👉Several states have recently passed legislation requiring women with dense breasts to be specifically informed of their breast density.
👉Women are informed of the limitations of mammography in dense breasts and are instructed to discuss further management with their physicians.
👉An informed decision regarding potential use of supplemental screening options, in addition to mammography, should be discussed, factoring in elements such as overall breast cancer risk as well as the positives and negatives of additional screening.
👉Despite a lack of consensus, algorithms for screening women with dense breasts are available and often emphasize breast cancer risk.
👉Women with heterogeneously dense breasts (or extremely dense breasts) with no additional risk factors require only annual mammography.
👉The decision to pursue additional imaging in patients with elevated risk should supplement but never entirely replace mammography.
👉Biannual screening mammography is not considered appropriate, and there is no indication for thermography.
👉Use of screening ultrasound or MRI are appropriate for women at increased risk, but the benefit remains to be determined in women of average risk for breast cancer.









👉A portacath or “port” provides intravenous access to a large vein in the body to deliver chemotherapy, blood products, antibiotics, and IV fluids.
👉Large veins are better for rapid infusion of high volumes or because some drugs, like cancer chemotherapies, can cause severe irritation if delivered to the smaller veins of the arms or legs or could lead to a chemical burn if they were to leak into surrounding tissues.
👉The portal refers to a reservoir implanted under the skin, usually in the upper chest below the collarbone.
👉To access the port, a narrow needle with is inserted into the port where the bump is, either with or without numbing the skin beforehand.
