TAKING A BREAST HEALTH HISTORY
![Page 5: Hands-on Clinical Breast Exam Training - ARHP · PDF fileHands-on Clinical Breast Exam . Training . Mark Pearlman, MD . Professor and Director, Breast Fellowship .

Individual Learning Objectives Demonstrate the ability to take a relevant breast health history
for women during routine well woman care Identify women at higher than average risk for breast cancer and
initiate further evaluation and management Perform the steps of a complete Clinical Breast Exam Counsel women at average risk for breast cancer on appropriate
breast cancer screening Appropriately document a breast evaluation, referral, and
follow-up actions Interpret mammogram results and create a follow-up plan based
on these results

Taking a Breast Health History
Three Basic Components a) Reproductive Risk Factors b) History of breast biopsies/radiation
exposure c) Familial/Genetic Factors
![Page 7: Hands-on Clinical Breast Exam Training - ARHP · PDF fileHands-on Clinical Breast Exam . Training . Mark Pearlman, MD . Professor and Director, Breast Fellowship . Department of Ob/Gyn](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020213/5a7624ec7f8b9ad22a8d2b83/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Taking a Breast Health History Reproductive Risk Factors (RRF)
Heuristic Model (“Rule of Thumb”): BC risk is proportional to number of years of unremitting cyclic Estrogen AND Progesterone
a) Early menarche/Late Menopause (↑ RR 1.2-2) b) Hormone Therapy w/ E+P (↑ RR 1.2) c) Pregnancy/Breast Feeding (↓ RR 0.85)
◦ First pregnancy after 30 is exception (↑ 1.2) Hyperplasia/hypertrophy and end-differentiation of breast tissue with lactation is protective early in life (less # years for cellular errors to occur and be propagated) and increases risk later in life (more likely to have cellular errors propagated)
Breast Cancer Risk based on RRF can be estimated using the Gail model if ALL of the following are met:
1. Age 35 or older 2. No DCIS or LCIS 3. No strong FH of breast/ovarian cancer (need other models)

Taking a Breast Health History Certain Biopsies/Radiation Exposure
History obtained at time of Well Woman Visit a) History of Lobular Carcinoma in situ
and/or Atypical Hyperplasia (↑ RR 4-8x) b) History of Therapeutic Thoracic Radiation
(e.g. prior Rx for Hodgkin’s lymphoma) - ↑ RR 4x
(↑)
![Page 9: Hands-on Clinical Breast Exam Training - ARHP · PDF fileHands-on Clinical Breast Exam . Training . Mark Pearlman, MD . Professor and Director, Breast Fellowship .

Taking a Breast Health History Familial/Genetic Factors
Simple screening tool (based on NCCN high risk screening rec’s) For use during HME, or at time of breast complaint If potential ↑ risk for breast cancer by screening toolrefer to
genetic counselor If referral needed, genetic counselor will perform a
Comprehensive Breast Health History including: ◦ Expanded Family History with use of risk assessment tables ◦ Reproductive History ◦ History of Environmental Exposures
Based on risk identified in counseling, expanded screening or genetic testing (e.g. BRCA testing) may be appropriate

Genetic/Familial Screening Simplified
![Page 11: Hands-on Clinical Breast Exam Training - ARHP · PDF fileHands-on Clinical Breast Exam . Training . Mark Pearlman, MD . Professor and Director, Breast Fellowship . Department of Ob/Gyn](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020213/5a7624ec7f8b9ad22a8d2b83/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Simplified Screening: Part 1: Two questions
A. Have you had breast or ovarian cancer? B. Has a blood relative had breast or ovarian cancer?
If answer to both questions are No,
recommend average risk screening If answer to Q.A is yes, ask f/u questions 2.A. If answer to Q.B is yes, ask f/u questions 2.B.
![Page 12: Hands-on Clinical Breast Exam Training - ARHP · PDF fileHands-on Clinical Breast Exam . Training . Mark Pearlman, MD . Professor and Director, Breast Fellowship .

Simplified Screening Interpretation
NO to BOTH QUESTIONS Follow Average Risk
Screening Annual Mammogram
starting at age 40 Clinical Breast Exam (CBE)
every 1-3 years from age 21-39, annual CBE age 40+
YES to EITHER QUESTION YES to Question A
Complete 2.a. Questionnaire
YES to Question B Complete 2.b. Questionnaire

Follow average risk screening recommendations until genetic counseling done.
If the answer to ALL question are NO (or don’t know) Average risk screening • CBE every 1-3 years for ages 21-39; Annually age 40+ • Mammograms annually starting at age 40 • Self breast awareness If the answer to ANY question is YES Cancer genetic counseling
Simplified Questionnaire – Complete if Question A is Yes

17
Follow average risk screening recommendations until genetic counseling done.
If the answer to ALL question are NO (or don’t know) Average risk screening • CBE every 1-3 years for ages 21-39; Annually age 40+ • Mammograms annually starting at age 40 • Self breast awareness If the answer to ANY question is YES Cancer genetic counseling

Cancer Genetic Counseling
Uses additional tools to estimate lifetime risk of breast cancer or likelihood of single gene mutation (e.g., BRCAPRO for BRCA mutation likelihood)
Further recommendations re: screening and risk reduction depend on the degree of risk/results of testing ◦ Surveillance:
• Annual MRI along with annual mammo if lifetime BC risk is > 20-25% lifetime based on FH (i.e., NOT Gail model) beginning at age 30
◦ Risk reduction: • Tamoxifen or raloxifene (>1.7% in 5 years based on Gail model) • Bilateral mastectomy , BSO (typically reserved for highest risk)
![Page 16: Hands-on Clinical Breast Exam Training - ARHP · PDF fileHands-on Clinical Breast Exam . Training . Mark Pearlman, MD . Professor and Director, Breast Fellowship . Department of Ob/Gyn](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020213/5a7624ec7f8b9ad22a8d2b83/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
When to use the Breast Cancer Risk Screening Questionnaire
Initial 2-Question Screening should be performed at initial HME or if breast complaint At return HME/Well Woman Exam, update
answers with patient (e.g., “Any new history of cancer in the family?”)
![Page 17: Hands-on Clinical Breast Exam Training - ARHP · PDF fileHands-on Clinical Breast Exam . Training . Mark Pearlman, MD . Professor and Director, Breast Fellowship .

LCIS and ATYPICAL HYPERPLASIA
History of LCIS or Atypical Hyperplasia on a prior biopsy Increased Risk of Breast Cancer (RR 4- to 8-fold)
Recommendations for LCIS/ADH/ALH: Screening: Annual mammogram + CBE every 6-12
months + Breast Awareness (begin at dx) Risk Reduction: Consider tamoxifen x 5 years
(50% decreased risk); tamoxifen or raloxifene x 5 years if menopausal
![Page 18: Hands-on Clinical Breast Exam Training - ARHP · PDF fileHands-on Clinical Breast Exam . Training . Mark Pearlman, MD . Professor and Director, Breast Fellowship .

RADIATION EXPOSURE TO CHEST If a client has had chest therapeutic radiation
ages 10-30 (e.g., treatment of lymphoma), significant increased risk for Breast Cancer
Most were informed of this risk by their provider at that time
Screening starts 8 – 10 years after radiation (or by age 40 whichever comes first) ◦ Annual mammography/Annual MRI ◦ Twice annual CBE ◦ Breast self awareness

CBE: How Long Should It Take?
While ideal time spent performing a breast exam has not been established, studies show the longer time dedicated to CBE, the more sensitive the exam is for the detection of masses Larger breasts typically take longer

REVIEWING BREAST IMAGING RESULTS
While reviewing: Be able to interpret imaging results Have access to the Clinical Breast Exam
findings to compare the results of CBE to imaging Know when to refer for further testing and/or
referral
![Page 44: Hands-on Clinical Breast Exam Training - ARHP · PDF fileHands-on Clinical Breast Exam . Training . Mark Pearlman, MD . Professor and Director, Breast Fellowship .

THE BI-RADS SYSTEM Screening Mammography – Standard 2 views Diagnostic Mammography – Used when women have
symptoms. Frequently requires other imaging modalities (e.g., U/S, special views)
Comprehensively documenting and relating the findings
of a physical examination or significant patient history (e.g., “strong family history of breast cancer”) to the
radiologist is a critical element in a thorough evaluation of every mammogram.

BI-RADS SYSTEM
Required that all mammography units use the SAME system throughout the U.S. Same system applies to all breast imaging
(mammography, U/S, MRI) 5 functional categories
