Breast cancer is diagnosed much more frequently in women than in men, with around 200,000 new cases diagnosed in women compared to only around 1,000 in men each year. Both women and men can develop breast cancer and it is typically treated through chemotherapy to kill cancer cells, radiation therapy to stop cell growth, or surgery to remove tumors and cancerous lymph nodes.

breast cancer
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women. There are several types including ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS), and invasive ductal carcinoma. Treatment depends on cancer type and stage. For early-stage disease, lumpectomy with radiation or mastectomy are equivalent options. Lumpectomy is preferred for cosmetic reasons when possible. Reconstruction options are available for patients undergoing mastectomy.
Breast cancer-ppt-17274120 (1)
Breast cancer is the most common malignant condition of the breast. It occurs when abnormal cells in the breast grow in an uncontrolled way. Some key risk factors include family history, hormonal factors, obesity, and alcohol consumption. Symptoms may include a new lump, thickening, swelling, skin irritation, or nipple discharge. Diagnostic tests include biopsy and mammography. Treatment options include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and hormonal therapy depending on the stage of cancer. Regular breast self-exams and screening can help detect cancer early and improve outcomes.
Role of chemotherapy in early stage breast cancer
This document discusses chemotherapy for early breast cancer. It begins with background on breast cancer prevalence and stages. It then reviews the history of theories about breast cancer spread and the development of adjuvant systemic therapy. Current guidelines recommend an individualized approach considering prognostic factors. For HER2-negative disease, preferred regimens include dose-dense doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide followed by paclitaxel or docetaxel and cyclophosphamide. For HER2-positive disease, preferred regimens include the same chemotherapy plus trastuzumab with or without pertuzumab. The document discusses other regimens and toxicities to consider when determining chemotherapy for early breast cancer patients.
radiation methods in early diagnosis of breast cancer
1. Early diagnosis and treatment are important for breast cancer management and organ preservation.
2. Mammography is the gold standard diagnostic method and helps identify nodular formations and calcifications suggestive of breast cancer, though some variants are difficult to detect.
3. X-ray tomosynthesis and CT provide 3D imaging of breast tissue architecture and help differentiate pathologies, but CT exposes patients to high radiation.
Breast cancer. TNM as a logical model in Cancer Diagnosis
The document discusses various diagnostic procedures and pathologies related to breast cancer. It describes diagnostic procedures to evaluate the tumor (T), lymph nodes (N), and metastases (M) which are used to determine a TNM stage. Imaging techniques like mammography and MRI are mentioned. Different breast pathologies are then summarized like ductal carcinoma, lobular carcinoma, phyllodes tumor, sarcoma, Paget's disease, and inflammatory breast cancer. Breast cancer diagnostic procedures and pathologies are classified in a logical TNM model to determine clinical diagnosis and guide therapy choices.

Side effects of radiation can include skin irritation, breast tenderness, fatigue, and swelling.
Breast cancer
Breast cancer is cancer that forms in the cells of the breasts. After skin cancer, breast cancer is the most common cancer diagnosed in women in the United States. Breast cancer can occur in both men and women, but it's far more common in women.
Breast Cancer
Breast cancer affects one in eight women during their lives. Breast cancer kills more women in the United States than any cancer except lung cancer. No one knows why some women get breast cancer, but there are a number of risk factors. Risks that you cannot change include:
Age - the chance of getting breast cancer rises, as a woman gets older
Genes - there are two genes, BRCA1 and BRCA2, which greatly increase the risk. Women who have family members with breast or ovarian cancer may wish to be tested.
Personal factors - beginning periods before age 12 or going through menopause after age 55
Other risks include being overweight, using hormone replacement therapy (also called menopausal hormone therapy), taking birth control pills, drinking alcohol, not having children or having your first child after age 35 or having dense breasts.
Symptoms of breast cancer may include a lump in the breast, a change in size or shape of the breast or discharge from a nipple. Breast self-exam and mammography can help find breast cancer early when it is most treatable. Treatment may consist of radiation, lumpectomy, mastectomy, chemotherapy and hormone therapy.
Men can have breast cancer, too, but the number of cases is small.

Thyroid cancer / papillary carcinoma (Doctor Faris Alabeedi MSc, MMedSc, PgD...Doctor Faris Alabeedi
Papillary carcinoma is the most common type of thyroid cancer. It typically affects women aged 30-50 and has a high cure rate when detected early as tumors less than 1.5 cm. While often well-differentiated, papillary carcinoma can invade local lymph nodes and in rare cases spread to distant organs. Diagnosis involves ultrasound, biopsy, and testing for thyroid function, while treatment consists of surgery followed by radioactive iodine and medication. Prognosis is generally excellent, especially for younger patients with smaller tumors.Thyroid cancer presentation
- Thyroid cancer originates from follicular or parafollicular thyroid cells and can present as papillary, follicular, or anaplastic thyroid cancer.
- Signs and symptoms may include a neck lump, difficulty swallowing or breathing, or hoarseness. Some cancers are found incidentally.
- The goal of treatment is to eliminate all cancer cells and may include surgery, radioactive iodine, thyroid hormone therapy, external radiation, or chemotherapy depending on cancer type and stage. Patients require lifelong thyroid hormone replacement and monitoring after treatment.
Dr radhey shyam(polytrauma management)
This document discusses the management of polytrauma patients. It defines polytrauma as injuries involving two or more major body systems. The goals of management are to save the patient's life, salvage limbs, and restore function if possible. A team approach is needed involving surgeons, physicians, and other specialists. The initial focus is a thorough primary survey and resuscitation to address life-threatening injuries like airway obstruction, hemorrhage, and spinal cord injury.
Polytrauma
The ABCDE mnemonic is commonly used in first aid training and medical education to guide the assessment and initial management of trauma patients. It stands for:
A - Airway, B - Breathing, C - Circulation, D - Disability (neurological status), E - Exposure/environmental control. The mnemonic provides a systematic framework to survey a patient and identify any life-threatening injuries while beginning resuscitation efforts. Variations on the mnemonic order and additions have been developed for different contexts and levels of training.

Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapy
Breast cancer in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) status is a common and complex condition that necessitates a multifaceted approach to management. HR+ breast cancer means that the cancer cells grow in response to hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. This subtype is prevalent among postmenopausal women and typically exhibits a more indolent course compared to other forms of breast cancer, which allows for a variety of treatment options.
Diagnosis and Staging
The diagnosis of HR+ breast cancer begins with clinical evaluation, imaging, and biopsy. Imaging modalities such as mammography, ultrasound, and MRI help in assessing the extent of the disease. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining of the biopsy sample confirm the diagnosis and hormone receptor status by identifying the presence of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) on the tumor cells.
Staging involves determining the size of the tumor (T), the involvement of regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence of distant metastasis (M). The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system is commonly used. Accurate staging is critical as it guides treatment decisions.
Treatment Options
Endocrine Therapy
Endocrine therapy is the cornerstone of treatment for HR+ breast cancer in postmenopausal women. The primary goal is to reduce the levels of estrogen or block its effects on cancer cells. Commonly used agents include:
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs): Tamoxifen is a SERM that binds to estrogen receptors, blocking estrogen from stimulating breast cancer cells. It is effective but may have side effects such as increased risk of endometrial cancer and thromboembolic events.
Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs): These drugs, including anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane, lower estrogen levels by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which converts androgens to estrogen in peripheral tissues. AIs are generally preferred in postmenopausal women due to their efficacy and safety profile compared to tamoxifen.
Selective Estrogen Receptor Downregulators (SERDs): Fulvestrant is a SERD that degrades estrogen receptors and is used in cases where resistance to other endocrine therapies develops.
Combination Therapies
Combining endocrine therapy with other treatments enhances efficacy. Examples include:
Endocrine Therapy with CDK4/6 Inhibitors: Palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib are CDK4/6 inhibitors that, when combined with endocrine therapy, significantly improve progression-free survival in advanced HR+ breast cancer.
Endocrine Therapy with mTOR Inhibitors: Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, can be added to endocrine therapy for patients who have developed resistance to aromatase inhibitors.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is generally reserved for patients with high-risk features, such as large tumor size, high-grade histology, or extensive lymph node involvement. Regimens often include anthracyclines and taxanes.
