2 Breast Cancer Screening Early detection of breast cancer is accomplished through screening. Screening is undertaken to evaluate an asymptomatic population in order to detect unsuspected disease at a time when cure is still possible.

3 Breast Cancer Screening Screening for breast cancer Mammography Ultrasound MRI

4 Breast Cancer Screening Screening for breast cancer Mammography Ultrasound MRI

5 Breast Cancer Screening There is (almost) universal agreement that the randomized controlled trials of screening have demonstrated that the death rate from breast cancer can be reduced by periodic screening using mammography.

6 USPSTF Recommendations Against routine screening mammography in women y.o. Biennial screening mammography for women y.o. Insufficient evidence to assess benefits / harms of screening mammography in women > 75 y.o. Against teaching BSE Insufficient evidence to assess benefits / harms of CBE Insufficient evidence to assess benefits / harms of digital mammography or MRI as screening modalities for breast cancer

7 Breast Cancer Screening Mortality from breast cancer is reduced by approximately 25-30% when introduced in the population. According to the data from the randomized controlled trials with long-term follow-up, the reduction in mortality from women aged is 49%! (Malmo II).

8 USPSTF Recommendations Used computer models to analyze data rather than using the source data themselves Acknowledge that many of the trials show mortality benefit for all women (including y.o.) but then inexplicably conclude that the harms (pain, anxiety, radiation dose, false positives, unnecessary biopsies) outweigh the benefits without showing any scientific analysis of the harms. None of the members of the task force have any experience with mammographic screening or any aspect of imaging.

9 Screening Analysis: MA 6,997 women diagnosed with breast cancer in Massachusetts between (median f/u 12.5 yrs) ~ 80% of this population received regular screening 461 deaths from breast cancer: 345 (75%) of deaths occurred in women who did not receive regular screening 116 (25%) of the deaths occurred in women who did receive regular screening mammograms. Cady B, et al (ASCO) 2009 Breast Cancer Symposium. Abstrac Cady B, et al (ASCO) 2009 Breast Cancer Symposium.

10 Screening Recommendations American Cancer Society: annual screening mammography and CBE for all women beginning at age 40 NCCN: annual screening mammography and CBE for women 40 y.o and older at normal risk American College of Surgeons: annual screening mammography beginning at age 40 ACR: annual screening mammography beginning at age 40 ASCO: while the optimal scheduling of regular mammograms is being discussed by experts in the field, ASCO would not want to see any impediments to screening mammography screening for any woman age 40 and above

11 Mammographic Assessment What are we looking for??

12 Mammographic Findings Mass Calcifications of Suspicious or Indeterminate Appearance Architectural Distortion

13 Mammographic Findings Mass Calcifications of Suspicious or Indeterminate Appearance Architectural Distortion

14 Possible Mass: Evaluation Masses A mass is a space-occupying lesion which is seen in two projections A potential mass which is seen only in a single projection should be called an asymmetry until its three-dimensionality is confirmed.

15

16

17 Possible Mass: Evaluation Focused Sonography Attempt to further characterize the abnormality Simple cyst: return to annual screening. Probable cyst with internal echoes: aspirate for confirmation. Solid mass: core biopsy.

18 LOBULATED MASS: FIBROADENOMA SIMPLE CYST

19 Mammographic Findings Mass Calcifications of Suspicious or Indeterminate Appearance Architectural Distortion

20 Calcifications: Evaluation Diagnostic assessment of mammographic calcifications Distribution Morphology

27 Architectural Distortion: Evaluation Differential diagnostic considerations Overlapping structures mimicking abnormality Area of prior surgery Radial scar Malignancy

28 Mammographic Assessment Sonographic findings cannot negate mammographic findings Mammographic findings do not supercede sonographic findings

29 Mammographic Assessment The management of any breast abnormality is dictated by its most worrisome features Mammographic Sonographic MRI Clinical examination

35 Percutaneous Biopsy: Radiologic-Pathologic Correlation In all breast biopsies, correlation of the radiologic and pathologic findings is critical to establish concordance (agreement with the pre-procedure expectation) or discordance (disagreement with the pre-procedure expectation).

36 Percutaneous Biopsy: Radiologic-Pathologic Correlation If a percutaneous core biopsy yields a benign diagnosis, it must explain the imaging findings and correlate favorably with the operator s imaging impression to be considered concordant.

37 Percutaneous Biopsy: Radiologic-Pathologic Correlation Core biopsy pathology results which are discordant from the imaging findings mandate additional tissue sampling. Re-biopsy Surgical excision

38 Percutaneous Biopsy: Radiologic-Pathologic Correlation It is the responsibility of the individual performing the biopsy to perform radiologicpathologic correlation on all percutaneous biopsies; determine concordance or discordance with the radiologic findings and convey these impressions and recommendations to the referring physician.

39 DIAGNOSIS: FIBROADENOMA----DISCORDANT

40 DIAGNOSIS: INVASIVE CARCINOMA-----CONCORDANT

41 DIAGNOSIS: FIBROCYSTIC CHANGE WITH CALCIFICATIONS----DISCORDANT

42 DIAGNOSIS: DUCTAL CARCINOMA IN SITU WITH CALCIFICATIONS----CONCORDANT

47 DMIST In: Women under 50 years of age Women who were premenopausal or perimenopausal Women classified as having heterogeneously dense or extremely dense breast tissue Digital mammography performed significantly better in the detection of breast cancer.

48 Breast Cancer Screening Should different screening regimens be implemented for women at high risk for the development of breast cancer?

49 Breast Cancer Screening Numbers of women at significantly increased levels of risk is small No randomized trials exist to assess impact of additional screening measures on mortality Recognition of genetic and pathologic identifiers of increased risk highlights the need for recommendations for suitable surveillance regimens in these subpopulations.

58 Screening Strategies for BRCA Carriers BRCA

59 Screening Strategies for BRCA Carriers Lowry et al Used simulation models to compare screening strategies utilizing combinations of FSM, DM, and MRI in BRCA1 and 2 carriers Performed with and without estimation of attributable risk due to radiation exposure from mammography Found the most effective strategy was initiation of MRI screening at age 25 and then alternating DM and MRI at 6 month intervals beginning at age 30 <4% of all diagnosed cancers were attributable to radiation exposure BRCA Lowry et al. Cancer 2012;118:

60 Breast Cancer Detection Mammography is an imperfect tool 20% of women diagnosed with cancer will have had a negative screening mammogram within the year prior to their diagnosis.

61 Breast Cancer Screening Screening for breast cancer Mammography Ultrasound MRI

62 Screening Breast Ultrasound Several single-center studies had shown the ability to identify small non-palpable invasive breast cancers which were occult on mammography, particularly in dense breasts In these studies, the radiologist had not been blinded to the mammographic results

66 Screening Breast Ultrasound ACRIN Trial women at high risk for breast cancer underwent screening mammography and ultrasound 41 cancers were found in 40 women (in total) 12 cancers were found by ultrasound alone The addition of ultrasound resulted in 136 (5.2%) biopsies and the diagnosis of 14 cancers (yield of 8.5%)
