Understanding Breast Cancer Breast cancer is a malignant tumor that originates in the cells of the breast. It is the most common cancer among women worldwide. Early detection significantly improves survival rates. Reference: World Health Organization. (2021). Breast cancer. Retrieved from WHO Website
Slide 4-

Importance of Breast Cancer Screening Early detection through screening can lead to more effective treatment. Reduces mortality by identifying cancer at a stage when it is most treatable. Enables early intervention and may prevent the spread of cancer. Reference: American Cancer Society. (2021). Breast Cancer Early Detection. Retrieved from American Cancer Society
Slide 5-

Types of Breast Cancer Screening Methods Mammography: X-ray imaging of the breast, the primary screening tool. Ultrasound: Used to assess abnormal mammograms or for women with dense breast tissue. MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging): Recommended for high-risk individuals. Clinical Breast Exam: Performed by a healthcare provider. Self-Breast Exam: Self-monitoring by individuals. Reference: National Cancer Institute. (2020). Breast Cancer Screening (PDQ®)–Patient Version. Retrieved from NCI Website
Slide 6-

Mammography - The Gold Standard Most effective screening tool for breast cancer. Can detect cancer up to 2 years before a lump is felt. Recommended for women aged 50-74 every 1-2 years. Reference: U.S. Preventive Services Task Force. (2016). Screening for Breast Cancer. JAMA, 316(17), 1889-1904.
Slide 7-

Breast MRI for High-Risk Patients Recommended for women with a high risk of breast cancer, such as those with BRCA1/BRCA2 mutations. More sensitive but also has a higher false-positive rate. Often used in conjunction with mammography. Reference: Saslow, D., et al. (2007). American Cancer Society Guidelines for Breast Screening with MRI as an Adjunct to Mammography. CA: A Cancer Journal for Clinicians, 57(2), 75-89.
Slide 8-

Ultrasound as a Screening Tool Useful for women with dense breast tissue. Commonly used as a follow-up for abnormal mammograms. Helps differentiate between solid masses and fluid-filled cysts. Reference: Berg, W. A. (2004). Beyond standard mammographic screening: mammography at age extremes, ultrasound, and MRI. American Journal of Roentgenology, 182(3), 673-679.
Slide 9-

Clinical and Self-Breast Exams Clinical Breast Exam: Performed by a healthcare provider during a check-up. Self-Breast Exam: Monthly self-exams help individuals become familiar with their breasts. Encourage patients to report any changes in texture, size, or shape. Reference: Breast Cancer Foundation. (2021). How to Perform a Breast Self-Exam. Retrieved from Breast Cancer Foundation
Slide 10-

Risk Factors for Breast Cancer Genetic Factors: Family history, BRCA1/BRCA2 mutations. Lifestyle Factors: Obesity, alcohol consumption, smoking. Reproductive Factors: Early menarche, late menopause, hormone replacement therapy. Reference: National Cancer Institute. (2021). Breast Cancer Risk Factors. Retrieved from NCI Website
Slide 11-

Screening Guidelines by Age Group Women Aged 20-39: Clinical breast exam every 1-3 years, self-exams optional. Women Aged 40-49: Mammography every 1-2 years based on risk and personal preference. Women Aged 50-74: Mammography every 2 years (annual if higher risk). Reference: American Cancer Society. (2021). Breast Cancer Screening Recommendations. Retrieved from American Cancer Society
Slide 12-

Benefits and Limitations of Screening Benefits: Early detection, reduced mortality, more treatment options. Limitations: False positives, overdiagnosis, potential anxiety for patients. Reference: Nelson, H. D., et al. (2009). Benefits and Harms of Breast Cancer Screening. Annals of Internal Medicine, 151(10), 727-737.

Key Takeaways
Slide 14-

Breast cancer screening is a vital tool in reducing mortality rates. Mammography remains the gold standard, especially for women over 50. Encouraging awareness and regular screening can lead to early detection and better outcomes.
