and does not engage in breast self-examination on any regular basis.
She has no family history of breast cancer, and her prior mammogram
was ordered as a routine screening test at age 43 years after a brief
discussion with her primary care provider. After a thorough investigation

screening for breast cancer in her age group? - ANSWER ✔✔This
patient was in compliance with the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force

as a possible alternative for routine screening. She is otherwise healthy
with no family history of breast, ovarian, or colon cancer. Which of the
following is true about MRI as a screening modality for breast cancer in
the general population? - ANSWER ✔✔Sensitivity of screening for
breast cancer increases with breast MRI at the expense of specificity.
A 35-year-old G0P0 women presents to clinic with a complaint of
bilateral nipple discharge. This discharge started several weeks ago and
has occurred at irregular intervals since that time. She does not
complain of local tenderness, redness, fever, or any other systemic
symptoms aside from slightly irregular periods over the last few months.
On exam, she is able to express a small amount of discharge, which is
sent to the laboratory and found to be consistent with breast milk but
without any signs of blood or pus. Screening laboratories are also sent,
which reveal a normal blood count, metabolic panel, thyroid-stimulating
hormone, and human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) level. Further
