Pathology: 47-year-old female with new diagnosis of infiltrating intraductal adenocarcinoma involving the left breast and regional node. Further tests on tumor samples indicated ER (8%), PR (negative), HER2 (negative), Ki-67 (72%), and grade (poorly differentiated). Intrinsic subtype (luminal B, HER2-negative). Radiology: FDG-PET/CT indicated a 5.3 x 2.5 cm mass in the left breast which appeared to extend to the epidermis of the skin; one node in the left axilla was also involved with tumor. No other evidence of distant disease was visualized. Laboratory: CBC, liver, and kidney function tests WNL, alkaline phosphatase and calcium are normal also. Stage: IB (T, N, M,) List the most important prognostic factors in this patient with newly diagnosed breast cancer. Assess the patient's level of risk for relapse. 50 SECTION 16 | ONCOLOGIC…
8-6. Identifying Study Subjects A study entitled “Antidepressant Medication and Breast Cancer Risk” (Amer. J. of Epi, late 1990’s) stated in the methods section of the paper that “Cases were an age-stratified (< 50 and ≥ 50 years of age) random sample of women aged 25-74 years diagnosed with primary breast cancer during 1995 and 1996 (pathology report confirmed) and recorded in the population-based Ontario Cancer Registry. As the 1-year survival for breast cancer is 90%, surrogate respondents were not used. Population controls, aged 25-74 years, were randomly sampled from the property assessment rolls of the Ontario Ministry of Finance; this database includes all home owners and tenants and lists age, sex, and address.” Discuss the authors’ approach to the identification of cases with respect to the potential for selection bias. Discuss the authors’ approach to the identification of controls with respect to the potential for selection bias. Does the decision not to allow surrogate…
Janel is a 31-year-old woman who has a positive screening mammogram. She consulted an oncologist aboutthe chance of this being actual breast cancer. Janel was referred for mammography because of a suspiciousbreast mass that has doubled its size over the past 3 months. Lesions were also noted. Among 1000hypothetical patients with a similar presentation, about 30% are estimated to have actual breast cancer. Assumethat mammography has a sensitivity of 98% and 95% specificity for detecting breast cancer. 43. How would a negative mammogram be interpreted in the context of Janel’s clinical presentation?A. Given a negative mammogram, 0.89% of clinical presentation is caused by a benign condition such ascyst or fibrous tissue.B. Given a negative mammogram, Janel has 0.89% chance of not having actual breast cancer. Follow upand additional testing is necessary.C. Given a negative mammogram, Janel has 99.11% probability of not having actual breast cancer. Thepresence of clinical presentation does…

“The overall absolute increase in breast cancers diagnosed among current and recent users of any hormonal contraceptives was 13 (95% CI, 10 to 16) per 100,000 person-years, or approximately 1 extra breast cancer for every 7690 women using hormonal contraception for 1 year”.

"The successful use of gene therapy to cure SCID syndrome (2000) is hoped to be a permanent cure for those patients because a good copy of the problem gene was inserted into the patients' blood stem cells in the bone marrow (hematopoietic stem cells). Once white blood cells enter the blood stream they have a limited life span, on the order of a few week to months. The blood stem cells are the cells that create more white blood cells to replace those that are lost. If the gene was only inserted into the circulating mature white blood cells, the patient would only be temporarily cured until those cells were used up or died." The current gene therapy approaches to cure CF involve inserting a functional CFTR gene into the mature epithelial cells of the lungs. In light of the preceding paragraph, do you think that…
