Abstract
Early detection means using an approach that allows earlier diagnosis of breast cancer. Early detection improves the chances that breast cancer can be diagnosed at an early stage and treated successfully Breast cancer that is detected because it is causing symptoms tends to be relatively larger and is more likely to have spread beyond the breast. In contrast, breast cancer found during screening examinations is more likely to be small and still confined to the breast.
Attention has been focused on early ways of diagnosis of breast cancer as early management of the tumors markedly affects outcomes.
Current screening and education programs must include all women; the goal of beast cancer screening must be early detection of malignancy at a stage that will lead to a reduction in mortality.
Screening tests for breast cancer include:
A. Breast-self examination (BSE).
B. Clinical breast examination (CBE).
C. Mammography.
Other Diagnostic tests include
Non-Invasive Procedures:
A.Ultrasonography.
B.Ductography.
C.Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
D.Positron emission tomography (PET).
Invasive Procedures:
A. Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC).
B.True-cut Needle Biopsy.
C.Open Breast Biopsy.
D.Frozen Section.
E. Stereotactic core needle biopsy.
Surgery for breast carcinoma
1-Modified radical mastectomy.
2-Conservative surgery:
a) Skin sparing mastectomy
b) Subcutaneous mastectomy
c) Quadrantectomy
d) Lumpectomy
e) Tumorectomy
Systemic treatment given before surgery called neoadjuvant therapy which is effective in disease progression, long term survival and distant recurrence. Systemic treatment given after surgery called adjuvant therapy used to kill any undetected tumor cells that migrate to other parts of the body.
Medical therapy of breast cancer includes (radiation therapy and systemic therapy which includes chemotherapy and hormone therapy).
