Introduction
Breast cancer(ca) continues to be a big
challenge to surgeon, his patient, relations
and the govt
Breast cancer is the most common malignancy
in women, world wide. It accounts for 31% of
female cancers.
It is responsible for 15% of cancer deaths in
women.
In zaria 1 in 3-5 breast lumps is malignant
Brief Epidemiology
Gender
Breast ca is relatively uncommon in men
the female-to-male ratio is approximately 100:1.
It accounts for < 1% of all cancer cases in men
The incidence of breast ca in men has remained
relatively stable over the past decades, except in Africa,
where the incidence is now rising and Chronic liver
disease/gynecomastia has been associated in Nigeria.
BRCA mutations are associated with an increased risk
for breast cancer in men.

Primary tumor (T)
TX: Primary tumor cannot be assessed
T0: No evidence of primary tumor
Tis: Intraductal carcinoma, lobular carcinoma in situ, or Paget disease of the nipple with no associated invasion of
normal breast tissue
-Tis (DCIS): Ductal carcinoma in situ
-Tis (LCIS): Lobular carcinoma in situ
-Tis (Paget): Paget disease of the nipple with no tumor. T1: Tumor not larger than 2.0 cm in greatest dimension
T1mic: Microinvasion not larger than 0.1 cm in greatest dimension
T1a: Tumor larger than 0.1 cm but not larger than 0.5 cm in greatest dimension
T1b: Tumor larger than 0.5 cm but not larger than 1.0 cm in greatest dimension
T1c: Tumor larger than 1.0 cm but not larger than 2.0 cm in greatest dimension
T2: Tumor larger than 2.0 cm but not larger than 5.0 cm in greatest dimension

T4: Tumor of any size with direct extension to (a) chest wall or (b) skin
T4a: Extension to chest wall, not including pectoralis muscle
T4b: Edema (including peau dorange) or ulceration of the skin of the breast, or satellite skin nodules confined to
the same breast
T4c: Both T4a and T4b
T4d: Inflammatory carcinoma
N lymph nodes
NX: Regional lymph nodes cannot be assessed (e.g., previously removed)
N0: No regional lymph node metastasis
N1: Metastasis to movable ipsilateral axillary lymph node(s) N2: Metastasis to ipsilateral axillary lymph
node(s) fixed or matted
N2a: Metastasis in ipsilateral axillary lymph nodes fixed to one another or to other structures
N2b: Metastasis only in clinically apparent ipsilateral internal mammary nodes and in the absence
of clinically evident axillary lymph node metastasis
N3: Metastasis in ipsilateral infraclavicular lymph node(s) with or without axillary lymph node
involvement, smetastasis in ipsilateral supraclavicular lymph node(s) with or without axillary or
internal mammary lymph node involvement
N3a: Metastasis in ipsilateral infraclavicular lymph node(s)

Principles of treatment
1. Curative or palliative
2. Establish a diagnosis
-History
Complaint
Course of illness
Cause of illness
Complications
Current treatment received
-detailed physical examination
Investigations
3. Confirm your diagnosis
4.Extent of disease
-Optimise the patient
-Directs line of mgt
-Prognosis
-outcome
Breast scan, USS
FNAC/CORE
Incision biopsy & histology,
SLN
receptor status
Mammogram of contra lateral side
Chest Xray
Abdomino pelvic USS
MRI
Skeletal survey
FBC DIFF, platelet count, clotting profile
U/E LFT

Treatment is multidisciplinary
The principal treatment modalities are;
Local
- Surgery
- Radiotherapy
Systemic
-Cytotoxic chemotherapy
-Hormonal therapy.
- immunotherapy/targetted therapy, monoclonal antibody
