(and what specifically is not)? - (answers)1) prior irradiation;
2) pos margins;
3) inflammatory;
4) pregnancy (unless 3rd trimester)
Breast: what are the axillary node levels (1-3, and one more category)? -
(answers)1 - lateral to pec minor;
2 - beneath pec minor;
3 - medial to pec minor;
Rotter's Nodes - between pec major and pec minor
Breast: when is SNLB indicated (size, nodes, tumor status, metastatic risk)>? -
(answers)>1 cm, no positive nodes (obviously), primary tumor present, low risk of
axillary mets,
,2|Page
Breast: what do you do if you can't find radiotracer dye in SNLB? - (answers)have
to do formal ALND
Breast: what is treatment for DCIS in male/female? - (answers)female -- BCT + xrt
OR mastectomy; male -- mastectomy
Breast: what is not needed for patient with negative SLNB? - (answers)ALND --
just do BCT or mastectomy depending on tumor is fine
Breast: what patient would get only mastectomy/BCT + tamoxifen for 5 years (4
characteristics)? - (answers)negative SLN, old, ER+, and tumor <2 cm
Breast: what patient would get mastectomy/BCT + tamoxifen for 5 years plus
chemo (4 characteristics)? - (answers)negative SLN, young, ER+, and tumor >1cm
Breast: what are 3 chemo agents used for breast CA typically? - (answers)1)
adriamycin; 2) cyclophosphamide; 3) taxol
Breast: what patient would get mastectomy/BCT + chemo (no tamoxifen)? -
(answers)negative SLN, ER-

Breast: what is treatment for inflammatory breast cancer (in order)? -
(answers)neoadjuvant chemo, then mastectomy (mod radical), then XRT
Breast: what options are available for breast mass post neoadjuvant therapy? -
(answers)same as de novo breast cancer -- BCT or mastectomy -- if tumor shrunk
and now amenable to BCT, that's fine, even if it was big before and needed
mastectomy based on size
Breast: LCIS -- who primarily gets this, what is most important characteristic, what
% get cancer, where, and what type? - (answers)- pre-menopausal
- NOT premalignant itself
- 30% lifetime risk
70% ductal CA
Breast: LCIS -- what % have synchronous cancer? - (answers)5%
Breast: LCIS -- what is treatment (4 possibility, 2 things not needed ever)? -
(answers)1) Need to resect the lesion but do not need neg margins
2) nothing and careful F/U
3) Hormonal therapy
-(pre-meno: tamoxifen; Post-meno: raloxifene)
4) bilateral subcutaneous mastectomy (no ALND)

of CA? (3)
Tx? - (answers)- LCIS
- Atypical ductal hyperplasia
- atypical lobular hyperplasia
Tx: resect the lesion w/ (-) margins
Breast: for atypical ductal hyperplasia; atypical lobular hyperplasia; LCIS, how are
these characterized and what treatment should be considered? - (answers)benign
proliferative dz. Incr risk of CA.
Need to resect - don't need (-) margins
Can give hormone therapy
