1) Breast cancer is the second most common cancer in the US and the leading cause of cancer death in women over 65 years old. Risk factors include family history, genetic factors, age of first birth, and hormone use.
2) Breast cancer is divided into in situ carcinoma and invasive carcinoma. Invasive ductal carcinoma makes up 70-80% of cases. Staging involves the TNM system and considers tumor size, lymph node involvement, and presence of metastases.
3) Treatment involves surgery such as lumpectomy or mastectomy, radiation, chemotherapy, hormonal therapy, and targeted therapy. The type of treatment depends on cancer stage and biological markers. Neoadjuvant therapy is often used
3. Breast anatomy The breasts are specialized accessory glands Of the skin that capable of secreting milk nipple small and surrounded by areola. The breast tissues consists of ducts embedded in connective tissue. The breast extended from2nd intercostals up word to the 6th intercostals down ward & from lateral margin ofsternum to the midaxillary line the majar part of the breast lies in the superficial fascia. Small part called called axillary tail extended to the deep fascia

5. each breast consists of 15-20 lobs which radiated out from The nipple .the main duct from each lobes open separately On the nipple .these is fibrous tissue in between for sport And take the breast it is normal feature Lymphdrainage ;- for lymph drainage the breast is divided Into quadrants , the lateral ones drainage to the axillary the medial ones drainage internal thoracic groups Then to the SCV . The axillary lymph nodes divided into three Levels by relation to pectorals minor muscle ;- Level one ;-(low axillary)= nodes inferior and lateral to the -Pectoralis mi Level tow ;- (mid axillary) =nodes directly beneath the Pectoralis minor muscle. Rotter’s ;-interpectoral nodes consider level tow and are
9. Epidemiology &Etiology The second common cancer in USA representing 26% of all cancer . And 15% of all cancer deaths . Is the 1st leading cause of. *caner death in women over 65 yrs . Breast cancer is more common in whites women but black women are more likely to die from their disease . Risk factors;- past history---BRCA1&BRCA2 --↑age ---early menarche – late menopause – nilliparty – first birth after the age 30 yrs – Atypical lobular hyperplasia – Atypical ductal hyperplasia – long term postmenopausal estrogen replacement –early exposure to ionizing radiation
10. Pathology of ca breast The breast cancer is divided into two major group 1)insitu carcinoma 2) invasive carcinoma . The insitu subtypes inculed ;- ductal carcinoma insitu DCIS 15-20% -- lobular carcinoma insitu LCIS the invasive carcinoma subtypes include ;- 70-80% infiltrating duct cell carcinoma . 10% infiltrating lobular . The remaining of the invasive subtypes are mucinous, tubular, .papillary, & medullary Paget’s disease is nipple involvement with disease

36. prognosis Prognosis of the breast cancer depents on number of factors ;- The most important factor is axillary LNs Then tumor size . Histological grade . Age of Pt Biological sub type as defined by molecular markers Pts- with ER and pR negative slightly worse Prognosis than pts- with either ER or PR +ve or both
43. Total mastectomy (simple);- removal of the breast to level of pectorali minor with out LNs dissection
44. Skin sparing mastectomy ;- preserves of skin and nipple/areola complex for enhance reconstructive outcome
45. chemotherapy Recommended for > 1cm tumor or nodes +ve . Adjuvant chemotherapy reduces LR .Anthracycline based rgimens and taxans for high risk disease .recent evidence suggest ↑DFS and OS with taxans base therapy as compared to anthracycline.FAC;regim consist of 5flurouracil+doxorubicin+cyclophosphamide usually 4 to6 cycle every 3weeks usually start immedially after surgery other regim CMF P-cyclophosphamide+methotrexate+ 5fluorouracil

51. Radiation therapy ;- For radiation ;-indication Adjuvant treatment after lumpectomy for Dcis &early invasive ca breast Adjuvant treatment after mastectomy for↑risk pts locally advanced disease (iflammatory breast disease) Palliative treatment for mets-
52. ;- Techniques for breast irradiation Whole breast EBRT is delivered using 3D-CRT for Dcis And early stage invasive breast cancer Selected nodal irradiation to the supraclavicular,axilla ,and internal mammary nodes when pathologically +ve Partial breast irradiation using brachytherapy or EBRT in special case In local advanced disease irradiation of the breast or chest wall ,supraclavicular ,axilla ,with or with out internal mammary is planned
53. Radiation tech- ;- Usually radiation began in 2-4 w after surgery . For receiving cth- radiation began after last cycle . Pt- treated in supine position with customized immobilization . Bilateral arms abducted and externally rotated . Ware surgical scar . Target volume is entire breast using tangential fields &SCV
54. Mark estimated medial, lateral, cranial, and caudal Field borders ;- 1) Medial border at midsternum 2)Lateral border placed 2cm beyond all palpable breast Tissue (midaxillary line). 3)Inferior border is 2 cm from inframammary fold . 4) Superior border is at head of clavicle or second Intercostal space . 5) Deep intrathoracic field border must be non diver- Gent and edges made coplanar
56. Tech-con Use half beam block tchniques, or rotate gantry to make Symmetric and align posterior edge of each tangent . (gantry rotation angle= arctan ({0.5 field with }SAD ) ~3 For 10 cm field. Isocenter is typically placed in the center of the treatment, lunge is acceptablegeneral 1-2cm of underlying in
57. For left sided lesion we have to ↓the radiation to the Heart in the tangential field . CT planning is required for more accurate dose distri- Bution. Rarely we need to treat completely dissected axilla Although axillary failure is un common . Rt tangential usually cover large percentage of level1,11 Of the axillary nodes . High tangent of technique can be used to treat great Percentage of the axilla if no axillary dissection perfor- med

Divergence of tangential fields superiorly can be Eliminated with various tech;- Couch kick away from tangent field ; arctan {(0.5X Tangetial field length })
62. Insitu carcinoma Representing 20%-22% of diagnosis ca breast usually by mammography. Dcis ;-BCT with lumpectomy ±RT.RT is indicated to reduce LR,Total mastectomy (TM)is indicated to for diffuse malignant,microcalification,multicentric disease,persistant +margin. Lcis;-lifelong close observation±tamoxifen for risk ↓ (↓ invasive cancer rate by 56% ). Mastectomy if strong FH ,diffuse disease, genetic predisposition as prophylacisis bilateral
63. Treatment of early- stage breast cancer (stage 1,2A);- Lumpectomy wjth radiation . Breast conservation surgery (BCS) followed by radiation Relative contraindication ;- Gross mullicantric . Pregnance . Prior irradiation . Scleroderma . Post mastectomy radiation is not indicated for early stage Disease . In BCS radiation radiation ↓ local recurrence
64. Study show that lumpectomy with radiation is superior To mastectomy in ↓local recurrence while no deferent in The OS , distant metastasis , contralatral breast cancer New 1ry malignance and locoregional recurrence no Significantly different
65. stage 11B&111 ;- Local advanced breast cancer include large espectram From simple large 1ry to aggressive inflammatory breast Cancer . Treatment usaully is multimodality surgery ,chemo-therapy which is adjuvant or neoadjvuant. The adjuvant in locorgional advanced breast cancer recently a companied with trastuzumab in HER2- +ve . Trial with the use of trastuzumab with adrimycin, Cyclophosphamide & paclitaxel show ↑of 3 yrs DFS &OS Treatment of local advanced ca breast
66. con- stage 11B, 111 ;--> Neoadjuvant chemotherapy ;- The Neo-ch followed by mastectomy With adequate down stage BCS can be done . In clinical trial excluding inflammatory breast cancer Using operable AC (A; adriamycin . C; cyclophoshpamide ) ->D (docetaxel) versus AC S(surgery) -> D ,PCR (pathological complete response ) Favored the 2nd one (p;0.001)
