Clinical Diagnosis: Diagnosis Certainty Treatment Breast mass prob 80% Surgical malignant Breast mass prob 20% Surgical benign
Do I need a para-clinical diagnostic procedure? Yes, to increase the certainty of my primary diagnosis.

Recommendations • Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is the initial diagnostic procedure in patients with a palpable breast mass in which cancer is suspected(Level I, Category A) Evidence- Evidence -based Clinical Practice Guidelines on the Diagnosis and based Clinical Practice Guidelines on the Diagnosis and Management of Breast Cancer Part I. Early Breast Cancer. PCS 1999. 99. Management of Breast Cancer Part I. Early Breast Cancer. PCS 19
FNAC Result: Smears show some groups of ductal cells exhibiting atypia with other individual cells showing the same features in the background. The individual cells exhibiting irregular nuclear contour and hyperchromatic nuclei. Diagnosis: Cell findings suggestive of malignant ductal cells
Pre-Treatment Diagnosis: Diagnosis Certainty Breast Ca, Right 99% Stage IIB (T2N1M0) Breast Mass probably Benign 1% (Fibroadenoma)

• Adjuvant combination chemotherapy is recommended for pre-menopausal women with involved axillary nodes while adjuvant hormonal therapy seems to benefit post-menopausal node-positive women, particularly those with positive hormone receptor levels. • Multimodality treatment is necessary to improve survival rates and decrease local recurrence Cabaluna ND.Current management of breast cancer.

Pre-op preparation: • Informed consent secured • Psychosocial support provided • Optimized patient’s physical health • Patient screened for any health condition • Operative materials secured
Intra-op Management: • Patient placed under GA with R arm extended • Transverse elliptical incision • Superior & inferior flaps created • Breast tissue dissected from the pectoralis major fascia • Clavipectoral fascia opened • Axillary vein identified • Palpable axillary LNs dissected • Right breast and axillary LNs removed enbloc
• Washed with NSS • Hemostasis • Anterior & lateral drains placed, anchored with silk 3-0 • Correct instrument,needle and sponge count • Flaps apposed – Subcutaneous & dermis closed with vicryl 2-0 – Skin- subcuticular with vicryl 4-0 • Povidone-iodine paint • DSD • Drain in negative pressure
Intra-operative findings: • Right breast measured 10x15cm with a 3x3 cm hard gritty mass, movable at the upper outer quadrant. • (-) levels 1 and 2 axillary LNs, multiple, not matted, largest of which measured 1x1cm.
Final Diagnosis: Breast CA, Right Stage II B (T2N1M0) S/P Modified Radical Mastectomy Right
Post-operative Routine use of any combination of analgesics � resulting in a pain-free post-operative period Arm rehabilitation exercises � Discharge within 48 hours post-operation, with � tube drain, and with instructions on: • care of tube drain • intake of analgesics • arm rehabilitation exercises
FOLLOW-UP � First follow-up visit 5-7 days of discharge � Second follow-up is 30 days after the operation � Adjuvant treatment is started within 6 weeks of the operation � Frequency of follow-up: First 2 years – every 6 months After 2 years – yearly Patients are given instructions to consult earlier if with symptoms � Routine annual contralateral breast mammography � Symptom-directed metastatic work-up � Annual gynecologic evaluation is advised for patients on Tamoxifen
Follow-up plan: • TCB after 1 week for removal of lateral drain • Awaiting final histopath result • ER-PR determination Post-menopausal ER (+) Tamoxifen ER (-) Chemotherapy ER Unknown Tamoxifen
Follow-Up Care • After primary therapy, patients should be followed for life, – to detect recurrences – to observe the opposite breast for a second primary • First 3 years, patient is examined every 3-4 months • Thereafter, examination is done every 6 months until 5 years postoperatively • Then, every 6-12 months for the rest of the life
Outcome: • Resolution of the breast mass • Live patient • Discharged • Happy and contented with the outcome • No complications • Satisfied patient • No medico-legal suit
Sharing of Information:
STAGING TNM staging (AJCC 6 th edition) � � Staging Maneuvers • Routine contra lateral breast mammography for all patients with microscopic evidence of breast cancer • Routine bilateral breast mammography for patients in whom breast conservation treatment is contemplated • Individual organ investigation for metastatic work-up should be symptom-directed
