1 BREAST CANCER Updated June 2016 by Dr. Nixn (PGY-5 Medical Onclgy Resident, University f Calgary) Reviewed by Dr. Jan-Willem Henning (Staff Medical Onclgist, Tm Baker Cancer Centre, University f Calgary), Dr. Eitan Amir (Staff Medical Onclgist, Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, Trnt) and Dr. Christine Simmns (Staff Medical Onclgist, BC Cancer Agency Vancuver) DISCLAIMER: The fllwing are study ntes cmpiled by the abve PGY-5 medical nclgy residents and reviewed by a staff medical nclgist. They reflect what we feel is relevant knwledge fr graduating medical nclgy residents preparing fr their final examinatin. The infrmatin has nt been surveyed r ratified by the Ryal Cllege. A) PUBLIC HEALTH EPIDEMIOLOGY - Mst cmmn life threatening cancer amng wmen; secnd mst cmmn cause f cancer mrtality - Cmpared t white wmen, black wmen have lwer incidence f develping breast cancer but higher rate f breast cancer-related mrtality due t higher incidence f triple negative disease, and presenting with mre advanced disease - Incidence increasing in ecnmically develping cuntries pssibly due t lifestyle changes (besity, decreased physical activity), pssibly due t increased awareness and imprving diagnstic tls, and als changes t hrmnal risks such as increasing nulliparity and lder age at first pregnancy and reduced breast feeding. There is sme element f verdiagnsis in cuntries with screening prgrams. - Incidence decreasing in develped cuntries since 2002, likely as result f decreased HRT - Mrtality decreased 30% ver last 10 years in CA, US, UK mst likely related t increased screening and new therapies (als sme f this is stage migratin resulting frm verdiagnsis) RISK FACTORS - Risk Mdels Mdified Gail Mdel: mst widely used, calculates 5 year and lifetime risk f breast cancer based n varius variables: Age, age at menarche, age at first pregnancy, number f bipsies, presence f atypical hyperplasia, number f first-degree relatives w breast cancer, and race. Underestimates risk if significant genetic predispsitin BRCAPRO, IBIS (Tyrer-Cuzick), BOADICEA: calculate risk based n risk f harbring genetic mutatin and have als been validated as general risk calculatrs. - Weak (RR<2X) FMHX pst-menpausal cancer (excluding male r bilateral) Higher SES Nulliparity; later age f first birth (>30); late menpause (>55); early menarche (<15); pst-menpausal besity; ETOH; Diet; lng term HRT - Mderate (RR 2-4) Older age NA and N Eurpean residence FMHX Pre-menpausal BC Persnal HX BC: breast hyperplasia w/ut atypia; mammgraphic density >50% breast vlume - Strng (RR >4) FMHX f 3 (+) relatives with pre-menpausal bilateral BC r pre-menpausal in mther, grandmther, sister, daughterr varian cancer in grandmther, mther, sister, aunt r male breast cancer at any age

2 Evidence f genes (BRCA1/2; PTEN; TP53; CHD1; STK11; PALB2) BRCA1: Cumulative risk by age 70: Breast: ~65% Ovarian ~40% 2X increase risk pancreas 2-4X increase risk cln in patients <50y.

BRCA2: Cumulative risk by age 70 Breast: ~45% Ovarian: ~11% 5-9X increase risk f prstate 3.51X increase risk pancreas Persnal HX lbular carcinma in situ Breast atypical hyperplasia Mammgraphic density >50% breast PREVENTION & SCREENING - Lifestyle Changes Physical activity: 3 prspective studies shwing recreatinal exercise can reduce incidence f breast cancer by 20-30%, especially amng pre-menpausal Diet and weight change: less alchl cnsumptin and maintain healthy weight - Risk-Reducing surgery: Ophrectmy: Recmmended fr BRCA carriers befre age 40 (decreased varian risk, breast cancer risk, all-cause AND varian cancer-specific mrtality) Bilateral mastectmy: decreases risk f breast CA >90% fr high risk/brca patients - Medical (Chempreventin):SERM and AI effective fr risk f ER psitive DCIS and IDC amng wmen with elevated risk using mdel (e.g. Gail) Tamxifen: EBCTCG trial shwed decreased risk f 39% fr cntralateral breast cancer in patients n 5 years adjuvant TAM at 15- years fllw up NSABP BCPT P-1: Wmen with 5 year risk (by Gail) >1.66% r LCIS received TAM fr 5 years vs. Placeb. 7-year FU shwed decrease risk f invasive breast CA 43% (62% hrmne psitive).

Assciated with the least favrable prgnsis. BRCA1 assciated cancers are ften basal-like (BRCA2 include entire spectrum, ften EGFR ver-expressing and may express CK5/6.).
