Epidemiology
• Breast cancer is the most common lethal neoplasm in women.
• The incidence varies among different populations.
• 1 out of 8 women will have BC in her life-time.
• The incidence of male breast cancer is about 1 % of all breast cancer cases occur in men.

Etiology
• Hormones• Endogenous exposure: major risk• Exogenous exposure: e.g. hormone replacement therapy
• Genetics• Majority of BC are diagnosed in women with no risk
factors• 10-20% have a family history• Only 5-10%: attributed to a known gene defect
• Other• Age • Radiation• Breast disease • Alcohol• Parity and lactation • Physical activity
![Page 8: BREAST CANCER Başak Oyan-Uluç, MD Yeditepe University Hospital Department of Medical Oncology.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051001/5697bfb91a28abf838c9fd78/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Hormones
• Endogenous exposure– Early menarche: <12 years – Late menapouse: >55 years – Delayed childbirth: >30 years – Postmnopausal obesity
• Exogenous exposure– Hormone replacement therapy
• Increased risk if used >5 years • Risk increase more with combined estrogen-progesterone replacement
– Oral contraceptive • Not increase risk
• Surgical or medical castration <37 years: decrease risk
![Page 9: BREAST CANCER Başak Oyan-Uluç, MD Yeditepe University Hospital Department of Medical Oncology.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051001/5697bfb91a28abf838c9fd78/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Age
• Age: risk increases steadily after age 50

Benign breast cancer
• Benign breast disease– Fibrocystic disease: not increase risk– Hyperplasia with atypia– Papilloma increased risk– Sclerosing adenosis– Lobular carcinoma in situ
![Page 11: BREAST CANCER Başak Oyan-Uluç, MD Yeditepe University Hospital Department of Medical Oncology.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051001/5697bfb91a28abf838c9fd78/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Other risk factors
• Lactation: Decrease risk
• Nulliparity
• Diet and lifestyle – Obesity esp. postmenapousal, – Excessive alcohol consumption: >1 drink/day
• Physical activity
• Radiation before age 40• Up to a 30% increased risk• 20 years after exposure

BRCA1-Associated Cancers: Lifetime Risk
Possible increased risk of other cancers (e.g., prostate, colon)
BRCA-1
• On chromo. 17
• Tumor supressor gene
![Page 15: BREAST CANCER Başak Oyan-Uluç, MD Yeditepe University Hospital Department of Medical Oncology.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051001/5697bfb91a28abf838c9fd78/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
BRCA 2-Associated Cancers: Lifetime Risk
Increased risk of prostate, laryngeal, melanoma and pancreatic cancers (magnitude unknown)
BRCA-2
• On chromo. 13
• Tumor supressor gene
![Page 16: BREAST CANCER Başak Oyan-Uluç, MD Yeditepe University Hospital Department of Medical Oncology.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051001/5697bfb91a28abf838c9fd78/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Other Gene Defects in Breast Cancer
• P53 gene (tumor supressor gene)– On chromosome 17– Associated with Li-Fraumeni syndrome– Increased risk of breast and rare tmors (sarcoma, brain tm,
leukemia, tumors of adreanl glands)– Lifetime risk for breast cancer: 50%
• PTEN (tumor supressor gene)– Associated with Cowden’s syndrome (multiple benign
hamartomes and malignant tumors)– Premenopausal breast cancers, gastrointestinal
malignancies, and benign and malignant thyroid disease

Indications for genetic testing of BRCA-1 and BRCA-2
• Multiple cases of early onset breast cancer in family history
• Breast and ovarian cancer in the same woman
• Bilateral breast cancer
• Male breast cancer
• Ashkenazi Jewish decent with breast cancer

Pathology• Non-invasive carcinoma in situ
– Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS)– Lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS)
• Invasive carcinoma– Invasive ductal carcinoma (70-80%)– Invasive lobular carcinoma (10%)– Special types with a good prognosis:
• Medullary, mucinous, papillary and tubular carcinomas• Adenocystic carcinoma
• Uncommon tumors– Inflammatory carcinoma (1%)– Paget’s disease

Inflammatory breast cancer
• Rare, fast-growing type of cancer• Often causes no distinct lump• Breast skin may become thick, red, and may look pitted -- like an orange
peel. • May also feel warm or tender and have small bumps that look like a rash.

• Highly variable in different patients
• Relatively slow growth rate
• Median survival without treatment: 2.8 yrs
• Generally present several years by time of diagnosis
• Long preclinical period enables early detection

Screening and Early Detection
Breast self-examination Clinical breast Mammography—the examination only modality shown
to decrease mortality
![Page 28: BREAST CANCER Başak Oyan-Uluç, MD Yeditepe University Hospital Department of Medical Oncology.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051001/5697bfb91a28abf838c9fd78/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
American Cancer SocietyScreening Recommendations
Annual mammograms starting at age 40
− 24% reduction in mortality rate
Clinical breast exams– every 3 years for women age 20-39
– every year starting at age 40
Self-breast exams monthly, starting at age 20
![Page 29: BREAST CANCER Başak Oyan-Uluç, MD Yeditepe University Hospital Department of Medical Oncology.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051001/5697bfb91a28abf838c9fd78/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Goals of mammography screening
• Earlier diagnosis in asymptomatic individuals• Reduction of mortality due to detection at earlier
stage

Management of High Risk Patients
• Enhanced Screening– Starting as early as age 25, shorter screening intervals– Inclusive of screening breast MRI, USG
• Chemoprevention– Tamoxifen– Evista (Raloxifene)?
• Surgical risk reduction– Prophylactic mastectomy
• Reduces risk of breast cancer by >90%– Prophylactic bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy
• Reduces risk of ovarian cancer by 90%• Reduces risk of breast cancer by 65%
• Counseling other family members

Presentation
The majority of carcinoma in situ, T1, or T2:– Painless or slightly tender breast mass or have an
– abnormal screening mammogram.
Patients with more advanced tumors:– breast tenderness, skin changes, bloody nipple discharge, or
occasionally change in the shape and size of the breast.
Rarely patients may present with axillary lymphadenopathy (occasionally painful)
Distant metastasis.

Evaluation of a Breast Mass
• Breast mass in women under 30– USG is preferred– If mass is solid or suspicious, then mammography
followed by biopsy– Cystic mass: Simple cyst observe
Complex cyst: Aspirate
• Breast mass in women over 30– Diagnostic mammography– If indeterminate features in mammography, then USG– Biopsy as needed
![Page 41: BREAST CANCER Başak Oyan-Uluç, MD Yeditepe University Hospital Department of Medical Oncology.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051001/5697bfb91a28abf838c9fd78/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Diagnosis
• Radiological tests– Mammography
• Detects 85% of breast cancers
– USG– MRI
• In dense breasts
• A mass with normal USG and mammography
• Biopsy– Fine-needle aspiration biopsy– Core biopsy– Excisional biopsy

• Stage 0 -- carcinoma in situ
• Stage I – tumor < 2 cm, no nodes
• Stage II – tumor 2 to 5 cm, +/- nodes
• Stage III – locally advanced disease, fixed or matted lymph nodes and variable tumor size
• Stage IV – distant metastases (bone, liver, lung, brain)

Prognostic Factors
• Tumor subtype– Estrogen/progesterone receptors
• (Positive in 2/3 of tumors)

Adjuvant Therapy
• Radiation Therapy (local)• Chemotherapy (systemic)• Hormonal agents (systemic)
• Each therapy adds to reduction of recurrent disease.
• Therapy is individualized

Common Mechanisms of ErbB Activation in Tumors – Receptor Overexpression
• Gene amplification results in overexpression of normal receptors
• Receptors spontaneously homodimerize
• Drives tumour growth

Endocrine Therapy for Breast Cancer
• Ovarian ablation—surgery, radiation, LHRH agonists
• Selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs) —tamoxifen, toremifene, fulvestrant
• Aromatase inhibitors—anastrozole, letrozole, exemestane
• Additive—progestins, estrogens, androgens
