CLASSIFICATION OF BREAST CANCER Primary breast cancer Non Invasive epithelial cancer Invasive epithelial cancer Mixed connective and epithelial tumors
NON INVASIVE EPITHELIAL CANCER Carcinoma in situ – Not breaching basement membrane Does not metastasize.
DUCTAL CARCINOMA IN SITU DCIS - clonal proliferation - limited - basement membrane Myoepithelial cells - preserved D etected - mammography-calcifications due to secretory material necrosis periductal fibrosis
Micropapillary DCIS Complex bulbous protrusions without fibrovascular cores
Papillary DCIS True papillae with fibrovascular cores that lack a myoepithelial cell layer
Paget’s disease of nipple Malignant condition M/C Post menopausal women Gradual destruction - Nipple & Areolar complex Eczema of Nipple - Bilateral , P aget’s - Unilateral ER-negative, overexpress HER2 .
CLINICAL FEATURES Underlying Lump is usually present Edges - Distinct Itching Absent Vesicles Absent DIAGNOSIS Nipple Biopsy Cytological Preparation Of Ex u dates
INVASIVE DUCTAL CARCINOMA Adenocarcinoma with No special type ( 50 -70%) SPECIAL TYPES Tubular carcinoma (2-3) Cribriform carcinoma (1-3%) Mucinous or colloid carcinoma (2-3%) Papillary carcinoma(1-2%) Adenoid cystic carcinoma (1%) Metaplastic carcinoma (1%)
Special types of invasive ductal carcinoma Tubular carcinoma : W ell formed tubules
Mucinous or colloid carcinoma ; Tumor cells - arranged in clusters S mall island of cells within - lake of mucin
Medullary carcinoma solid sheets of large cells pleomorphic nuclei prominent nucleoli, Frequent mitotic figures,
Metaplastic carcinoma includes spindle cell carcinomas and matrix-producing carcinomas .
Papillary carcinoma True papillae - fronds of fibrovascular tissue
Invasive lobular carcinoma L oss of CDH1 - E cadherin Lobular carcinomas are dyscohesive , D ifficult to palpate or image Indian file pattern
MIXED CONNECTIVE AND EPITHELIAL TUMORS Phyllodes tumor Its spectrum covers both benign and malignant course In malignant course , the features such as: 1 ) Cellular atypia 2 ) Mitotic figure 3 ) Stromal overgrowth
Angiosarcoma A rising - parenchyma or dermis of breast Types 1. primary 2.secondary Primary angiosarcoma Secondary angiosarcoma : after surgery or irradiation
MOLECULAR CLASSIFICATION OF BREAST CANCER Luminal a ER AND PR + HER2/ neu - Ki -67 low Luminal b ER AND PR + HER2/ neu - Ki-67 high HER2/ neu enriched ER- PR- HER2/ neu + Ki-67 high Triple negative ER- PR- HER2/ neu - Ki-67 high Claudin low ER- PR- HER2/ neu - Claudin low
RISK FACTORS FOR BREAST CANCER
Clinical Features PAINLESS LUMP M ay be associated with indrawing of nipple M/C upper outer quadrant(60%) Short History & Fast Growth Uneven Shape & Surface Margin – Well Defined & irregular
NIPPLE DISCHARGE is the second common presentation DISCHARGE Single Duct Serous Ductectasia Multiple Duct Blood Stained Carcinoma From Surface Yellow / Bloody Paget’s Disease
PEAU D'ORANGE : Dermal lymphatic obstruction
SKIN CHANGES DIMPLING OF SKIN: DUE TO INFILTRATION OF SINGLE LIGAMENT OF COOPER PUCKERING/ TETHERING SKIN : DUE TO MULTIPLE LIGAMENT OF COOPER INVOLVEMENT
RETRACTION OF NIPPLE: • INFILTRATION & FIBROSIS OF LACTIFEROUS DUCT • RECENT HISTORY OF RETRACTION - SEEN CARCINOMA CANCER-EN-CUIRASSE: ARMOUR COAT
SKIN ULCERATION & FUNGATION : RED WEEPING ULCER –PAGET’S DISEASE FUNGATION - LATE FEATURE -ADVANCED CA BREAST LYMPHNODE ENLARGEMENT COMMONLY INVOLVED : AXILLARY & SUPRACLAVICULAR
INVESTIGATIONS AND STAGING OF BREAST CANCER
IMAGING 32 Mammography Ultrasonography Magnetic Resonance Imaging Positron emission tomography
MAMMOGRAPHY 33 Screening/ diagnostic Used - >40 years of age.
MAMMOGRAPHY 34 X- ray of the breast. P lacing the breast - direct contact with ultrasensitive film - exposing - low voltage, high current x- rays. Dose of radiation per film : 1mGy
MAMMOGRAPHY – VIEWS 35 2 Types of views – Craniocaudal view Mediolateral oblique view MEDIOLATERAL OBLIQUE VIEW Breast compressed diagonally. Provides side view of breast. More breast tissue is visualised and axilla is appreciated. CRANIOCAUDAL VIEW Breast compressed horizontally. Provides top- view of the breast. Deep medial breast tissue can be visualized, provides maximum compression.
BIRADS SCORE Reference – Bailey & Love’s Short practice of surgery Developed by the American College of Radiology, it is a standardized way of reporting any imaging study of the breast.
ULTRASONOGRAPHY Imaging modality of choice: To differentiate between solid and cystic mass. A pregnant lady with a lump. Young female dense breast. USG shows a solid, irregular-shaped mass, taller than wider, with angular irregular margins. (BI-RADS) score 5
MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING BRCA Positive Inconclusive USG. M ultifocal and multi-centric lesions. Imaging investigation of choice to identify local/scar recurrence after surgery. Breast implants .
Metastatic work-up 20XX Pitch Deck 39 Done for patients with locally advanced breast disease. Contrast Enhanced CT of chest Ultrasound of abdomen Isotope bone scan
HISTOPATHOLOGY Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (23 – 30G) thin needle used. Cells should be taken from representative area. Indications of FNAC in breast lesions : • C ystic breast lesion. • Axillary lymph node cytology. CNB > FNAC because •Tissue is obtained. •Can differentiate between in-situ and invasive cancer. •ER, PR, HER 2 neu status •Less false negative rate.
CORE NEEDLE BIOPSY Also known as Tru–cut biopsy 14-18 G needle used Can be taken under image guidance. Should be taken from solid part of the lesion.

BREAST CONSERVATION THERAPY
CONTENTS Definition Advantages Indications Contraindications Procedure of BCS Radiotherapy Follow up Complications
BREAST CONSERVATION THERAPY : BCT involves wide local excision of the tumor [BCS] with axillary dissection with radiotherapy to the breast and chest wall BCT=BCS+RADIOTHERAPY
INDICATIONS Tumor s - excision with clear margins Small tumor to breast ratio
CONTRAINDICATIONS ABSOLUTE CONTRAINDICATIONS RELATIVE CONTRAINDICATIONS FIRST TRIMESTER PREGNANCY PRIOR RADIATION THERAPY TO CHEST WALL MULTICENTRIC TUMORS SCLERODERMA EXTENSIVE DUCTAL CARCINOMA IN SITU RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS INFLAMMATORY BREAST CANCER LI-FRAUMENI SYNDROME LARGE TUMOR TO BREAST RATIO EXTENSIVE POSITIVE PATHOLOGICAL MARGINS
PROCEDURE OF BCS: CURVILINEAR SKIN INCISION/ RADIAL INCISION TUMOR IS REMOVED ALONG WITH AN ENVELOPE OF NORMAL APPEARING TISSUE ACHIEVE A CANCER FREE MARGIN MASS IS REMOVED SPECIMEN IS MARKED WITH SHORT SUPERIOR , LONG LATERAL SUTURES SPECIMEN MAMMOGRAM or FROZEN SECTION BIOPSY AXILLARY DISSECTION is done Cavity is labelled with clips –RADIOTHERAPY Sutures to close the cavity Post op scarring is minimal
RADIOTHERAPY Recurrence rates are too high - surgery alone P ost operative radiation - 45-50.4 Gy delivered in 25 fractions In patients with lymph node-positive disease locoregional radiotherapy is given covering chest wall,supraclavicular regions,internal mammary nodes and axilla
APBI-ACCELERATED PARTIAL BREAST IRRADIATION INDICATIONS : Women of 50 years or older with T 1 disease and negative resected margins with margin width of 2mm Invasive ductal carcinoma ER positive,BRCA negative and sentinel nodes negative
FOLLOW UP BILATERAL MAMMOGRAPHY After 6 To 12 Months Annual Screening Mammogram Biannual B reast Examination
COMPLICATIONS Hardness due to scar tissue Change in size and shape of breast Seroma Lymphedema if lymph nodes were involved Recurrence
MANAGEMENT OF EARLY BREAST CANCER
What is EARLY BREAST CANCER ? Breast cancer that has not spread beyond the breast or axillary lymph nodes. This includes Insitu breast cancer - Stage 0 Stage I Stage II A T2 NI M0 of stage II B
AIMS OF TREATMENT CURE CONTROL of local disease CONSERVATION of breast Prevention of LOCAL RECURRENCE Prevention of DISTANT METASTASIS

PROCEDURE FOR MRM: POSITION :- The Patient is placed in supine position Ipsilateral arm extended and placed at 90° with a sandbag placed below the scapula. Under General Anesthesia INCISION :- Stewart’s elliptical incision pointing towards the axilla
STEWART’S INCISION
Skin incision is made. Skin flaps are raised after providing traction using skin hooks with monopolar cautery. Extent of flaps: Laterally till the anterior border of latissimus dorsi Medially till the parasternal edge Superiorly ti ll inferior border of clavicle Inferiorly till the inframammary crease PROCEDURE OF MRM
Skin flaps
4. Inferior flap is more adherent and difficult to raise. 5.Skin flap should be of adequate thickness to prevent flap necrosis. 6.Breast tissue is removed along with pectoral fascia. 7.Axillary clearance is done.
