Apart from non-melanoma skin cancer, breast cancer is the most common cancer in women of all races, with a lifetime risk of 1 in 35 in South Africa, according to the 2007 National Cancer Registry.
“We encourage all women to conduct regular self-examinations once a month. Know how your breasts look and feel – discuss any changes you observe with your health practitioner. It’s also very important to go for a mammogram every year from the age of 40,”
Breast cancer is increasing year by year in India and we are moving towards western statistics in prevalence of disease.
I was invited by air force gandhinagar to deliver the breast cancer awareness talk to their staff.
This presentation is all about breast cancer, early signs, symptoms, prevention, diagnosis and treatment.

The United States Congress designated January as Cervical Health Awareness Month.
CANSA places the focus on Cervical Cancer during the month of September. Cervical Cancer is the 2nd most common cancer among South African women.
Sources: http://www.cansa.org.za/womens-health/
Cervical cancer is the 2nd most common cancer among South African women & the leading cancer among black South African women - 1 in 39 women in South Africa will be diagnosed with Cervical Cancer (NCR 2005).
Having regular Pap smears can detect abnormal cells in the cervix (mouth of the womb), that could develop into Cervical Cancer. We encourage all women to go for Pap smears at least every 3 years, from the age of 25, to detect abnormal cells early.
http://www.cansa.org.za/womens-health/
Being Informed is Half the Battle Won
The incidence of breast cancer among South African women is increasing with women having a one in 29 lifetime risk of being diagnosed and the most common cancer in women of all races and ethnicities. With such alarming rates, it places so many women at risk and so we urge all women to go for regular screening and also find ways to lower your cancer risk.
The overall goal of CANSA’s campaign is to improve women’s health and well-being by encouraging women to ensure they have the knowledge to put in place their own risk reduction measures. Through its campaign, CANSA is providing access to information that enables people to make healthy lifestyle choices. CANSA also encourages screening and early detection.

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

4. Breast cancer –
What are the symptoms?
Early breast cancer usually doesn't show symptoms, but as the
tumour grows, it can change how the breast looks or feels
Typical changes include:
• A lump or thickening in or near the breast or in the armpit area
• A change in the size or shape of the breast
• Dimpling or puckering in the skin of the breast
• The nipple becoming inverted (turning inward into the breast)
• Abnormal discharge from the nipple
• Scaly, red, or swollen skin on the breast, nipple, or areola (the
dark area surrounding the nipple)
• The skin of the breast taking on an orange peel look or feel
5. Early detection of breast cancer
If breast cancer is found early, there are
more treatment options and a better chance
for survival.
Even if you feel healthy now, just being a
woman and getting older puts you at risk for
breast cancer.
Getting
checked
regularly can
put your mind
at ease
Early detection of
breast cancer may
save your life!
6. Early detection of breast cancer
Breast self-examination (BSE) should
be done once a month during
ovulation (preferably at the same
time of day).
Know how your breasts look and
feel.
Lumpy glandular tissue is a normal
part of breast tissue.
Regular breast self-examination
alerts to any changes.
Discuss any changes you
observe with your health
practitioner
7. A Breast Self-Examination
is as easy as 1-2-3
1. In the mirror
In front of a mirror, check for any
changes in the normal look and feel
of your breasts, such as
dimpling, size difference or nipple
discharge
Inspect four ways: arms at sides;
arms overhead; firmly pressing
hands on hips and bending forward
8. A Breast Self-Examination
is as easy as 1-2-3
2. Lying down
Lie on your back with a pillow under your
right shoulder and your right hand under
your head.
With the four fingers of your left hand
make small circular motions, follow an
up and down pattern over the entire
breast area, under the arms and up to
the shoulder bone, pressing firmly.
Repeat using right hand on left breast.
9. A Breast Self-Examination
is as easy as 1-2-3
3. While bathing
With your right arm raised, check your
right breast with a soapy left hand and
fingers flat using the method described
under step 2 (‘Lying down’).
Repeat on the other side.
10. Early detection of breast cancer
A Clinical Breast Examination (CBE) is a
visual and manual examination of the
entire breast — from the collarbone to the
bra line, and from the armpit to the
breastbone
If a CBE by a medical practitioner is not part
of your routine medical checkup, ask for it
Women 40 or older, or who have other risk
factors, should be referred for a
mammogram every 2 - 3 years
If you feel or see
any change in
your breasts or
underarms, ask
your medical
practitioner to do
a clinical breast
examination (CBE)
12. You have an increased risk for
breast cancer if...
You are older than 50
• The chance of getting breast cancer increases as you get
older.
• However, even though most women are over 50 years old
when they are diagnosed, women in their twenties or thirties
are increasingly diagnosed with breast cancer.
13. You have an increased risk for
breast cancer if...
You have a close family member with breast cancer
• Your risk of breast cancer is higher if your
grandmother, mother, sister or daughter had breast or
ovarian cancer.
• The risk is even higher if your family member had it before
age 50.
• Ask your medical practitioner about genetic counseling.
14. You have an increased risk for
breast cancer if...
You have a personal history of cancer and had received
treatment for cancer previously
• Women who have received high dose chemotherapy or who
have had radiation therapy to the chest (including the
breasts) before age 30 are at an increased risk for breast
cancer.
• Studies show that the younger a woman is when receiving
treatment, the higher her risk for breast cancer later in life
15. You have an increased risk for
breast cancer if...
Your breast tissue is very dense
• Women whose mammograms show a larger area of dense
breast tissue than those of women of the same age are at
increased risk for breast cancer.
• An ultrasound may be required as dense breast tissue can
make it difficult to detect possible tumours.
16. You have an increased risk for
breast cancer if...
You have never given birth or your first pregnancy was
after the age of 35
• Women who never had children are at an increased risk for
breast cancer.
• Pregnancy reduces a woman's total number of lifetime
menstrual cycles, which may be the reason.
17. You have an increased risk for
breast cancer if...
You’re using, or have recently used birth control pills
(oral contraceptives) for many years
• Studies have found that women using oral contraceptives
have a greater risk for breast cancer than women who have
never used it
• The risk decreases if you stop using it for 10 years or more
18. You have an increased risk for
breast cancer if...
You are postmenopausal and are using combination hormone
replacement therapy (HRT) (combination of oestrogen and progesterone)
• Combined HRT increases the likelihood that the cancer may be found at a
more advanced stage, possibly because it reduces the effectiveness of
mammograms by increasing breast density
• Higher-dose combined HRT increases breast cancer risk more than lower-dose
combination HRT
• Breast cancer risk increases the most during the first 2 to 3 years of taking
combined HRT
• The risk is reduced to average about 5 years after stopping combined HRT
19. You have an increased risk for
breast cancer if...
You have more than one standard alcoholic drink per day
• The use of alcohol is clearly linked to an increased risk of developing
breast cancer
• The risk increases with the amount of alcohol consumed
• Those who have more than one standard alcoholic drink daily have
almost twice the risk of women who drink no alcohol
• Excessive alcohol use is also known to increase the risk of developing
cancers of the mouth, throat, oesophagus and liver
20. Remember...
You can reduce
your risk for breast
cancer by adopting
a balanced lifestyle
and avoiding
environmental
carcinogens
(cancer causing
substances)
Although very
rare, men can
also develop
breast cancer
Most women
who have
many risk
factors never
develop breast
cancer
Women who
breastfeed for at
least 18 months
can further
reduce their (and
their baby’s) risk
Be physically
active, don’t
be overweight
and limit your
alcohol intake
21. What is CANSA doing to help?
We help to make sure that South African
women have access to potentially life-
saving Clinical Breast Examinations (CBEs)
How?
Our Mobile Health Units travel to remote
areas throughout South Africa to reach
women who would otherwise not have
access to CBEs
22. What is CANSA doing to help?
Lymphoedema treatment
During surgery for cancer, lymph glands
and lymph vessels are sometimes
removed, which increase risk for infection
If the remaining lymph vessels cannot
drain enough fluid, excess fluid builds up
and causes swelling, or lymphoedema
Radiotherapy treatment may also cause
lymph node damage
23. What is CANSA doing to help?
Several CANSA Care Centres offer
lymphoedema treatment, where
therapists (who have received special
training in the management of
lymphoedema), use Complete
Decongestive Therapy (CDT) to manage
the symptoms of affected cancer patients
CDT treatment includes manual lymph
drainage, compression bandaging, special
exercise and skin and nail care

Wigs
Cancer treatment often results in hair
loss. Ask your hairdresser to style your
wig (rented or purchased from CANSA
Care Centres) to suit your preferences
Breast prostheses
Breast prostheses, expertly fitted by
trained CANSA staff and volunteers are
sold at CANSA Care Centres – some
offices also sell underwear for use with
prostheses
25. SureTouch
CANSA pioneered the latest
technology for safe breast
examinations
It is not a diagnostic tool, but used for
pre-screening
Explored and verified by CANSA, the
SureTouch screening device travels to
urban, semi-urban and rural
communities across the country, to
deliver safe and easy breast
examinations
