NURS 211L: Medical Surgical Nursing Case Study: Breast Cancer (M.D. a 50-year-old woman (Hispanic) whose routine mammogram showed a 2.3 x 4.5 cm lobulated mass at the 3 o’clock position in her left breast. M.D. underwent a stereotactic needle biopsy and was diagnosed with invasive ductal carcinoma, estrogen, and progesterone receptor positive, HER- 2 negative.) Scenario: M.D. a 50-year-old woman (Hispanic) whose routine mammogram showed a 2.3 x 4.5 cm lobulated mass at the 3 o’clock position in her left breast. M.D. underwent a stereotactic needle biopsy and was diagnosed with invasive ductal carcinoma, estrogen, and progesterone receptor positive, HER- 2 negative. The staging workup was negative for distant metastasis. Her final staging was stage IIB. She had a modified radical mastectomy with axillary lymph node dissection. The sentinel lymph node and 4 of 16 lymph nodes were positive for tumor cells. An implanted port was placed during surgery.
