1. The USPSTF recommends which patient to receive breast cancer risk-
reducing meds? - Correct Answer: women who are at increased risk for
breast cancer and at low risk for adverse medication effects.
2. Which meds are recommended by USPSTF to reduce risks of breast cancer?
- Correct Answer: tamoxifen:(blocks estrogen, stopping dependent
tumors from growing) ER+ cancer cells
raloxifene: (binds to estrogen receptors reduce, producing estrogen-like
effects on bone = less resorption of bone = less bone turnover) - tx
osteoporosis in post-meno
aromatase inhibitors (anastrozole, exemestane, and letrozole): blocks
aromatase enzyme that converts androgen to estrogen which reduces
amount of circulating estrogen = less estrogen to feed ER+ breast cancer
cells
3. What is the USPSTF recommendations for breast cancer screening for
women age 40-74? - Correct Answer: Mammogram every 2 years
4. Side effects of meds to reduce breast cancer - Correct Answer:
tamoxifen 20mg QD: DVT, hot flashes, nausea, hyperlipidemia, can increase
LFTs
, Raloxifene 60mg QD: DVT, MI, hot flush, leg cramps, stroke, PE
5. USPSTF recommendations for screening sexually active
(gonorrhea/chlamydia) - Correct Answer: screening for gonorrhea or
chlamydia in all sexually active women 24 years or younger and in women
25 years or older who are at increased risk for infection.
6. USPSTF breast cancer screening - Correct Answer: Annual: 40-54 years
old
Every other year: 55- (age of which patient will likely live 10 more yrs)
*start at age 30 if high risk
7. USPSTF breast cancer screening tests - Correct Answer: Mammo: 2D or
3D
U/S: can show fluid-filled cysts; ideal for dense breast tissue
MRI: FOR HIGH RISK only! - Risk for false positives
*Doesn't recommend self-exams due to inadequate research findings to
support*
8. On the patient portal, your patient's mammogram is labeled as a Category
1. She calls today to ask what that means. You educate her that Category 1
means: - Correct Answer: Negative of malignancy; nothing abnormal
9. On the patient portal, your patient's mammogram is labeled as a Category
2. She calls today to ask what that means. You educate her that Category 2
, means: - Correct Answer: negative/normal. Only benign calcifications,
masses, or lymph nodes in the breast
10.On the patient portal, your patient's mammogram is labeled as a Category
3. She calls today to ask what that means. You educate her that Category 3
means: - Correct Answer: Potentially benign. A finding in this category
has a very low (no more than 2%) chance of being cancer. It is not expected
to change over time. But since it's not proven to be benign, it's helpful to be
extra safe and see if the area in question does change over time.
You will likely need follow-up with repeat imaging in 6 to 12 months and
regularly after that until the finding is known to be stable (usually at least 2
years).
11.On the patient portal, your patient's mammogram is labeled as a Category
4. She calls today to ask what that means. You educate her that Category 4
means: - Correct Answer: SUSPICIOUS: These findings do not definitely
look like cancer but could be cancer. The radiologist is concerned enough to
recommend a biopsy.
12.On the patient portal, your patient's mammogram is labeled as a Category
5. She calls today to ask what that means. You educate her that Category 5
means: - Correct Answer: HIGHLY SUGGESTIVE OF MALIGNANCY: The
findings look like cancer and have a high chance (at least 95%) of being
cancer. Biopsy is very strongly recommended.
13.On the patient portal, your patient's mammogram is labeled as a Category
6. She calls today to ask what that means. You educate her that Category 6
means: - Correct Answer: PROVEN MALIGNANT: This category is only
used for findings on a mammogram (or ultrasound or MRI) that have
, already been shown to be cancer by a previous biopsy. Imaging may be
used in this way to see how well the cancer is responding to treatment.
14.On the patient portal, your patient's mammogram is labeled as a Category
0. She calls today to ask what that means. You educate her that Category 0
means: - Correct Answer: Incomplete: This means the radiologist may
have seen a possible abnormality, but it was not clear and you will need
more tests, such as another mammogram with the use of spot compression
(applying compression to a smaller area when doing the mammogram),
magnified views, special mammogram views, and/or ultrasound
15.What are the variations of Category 4 mammograms? - Correct Answer:
4A: Finding with a low likelihood of being cancer (more than 2% but no
more than 10%)
4B: Finding with a moderate likelihood of being cancer (more than 10% but
no more than 50%)
4C: Finding with a high likelihood of being cancer (more than 50% but less
than 95%), but not as high as Category 5
16.What is the most common symptom of breast cancer? - Correct
Answer: A new lump that is painless yet hard.
Other symptoms:
Edema, rippling (orange peel), breast/nipple pain, nipple retraction or
discharge, or swollen lymph nodes
17.When is the most common age for cervical cancer? - Correct Answer:
women over 30 years old
