Mammography recommendations
Ans: Mammography: For masses. If results are different from
clinical exam, trust your exam findings. May have a false
negative- not infallible. Continue work up process even with
negative mammogram.
Screening mammography: USPSTF: begin every 2 year
screening at 50, d/c at age 75. May start in 40s dep. On risk
factors. Others say at 40 and every year.
BIRADS: standardized system of reporting. Quality assurance.
frequency of clinical breast exam
Ans: For women who are at average risk of breast cancer and
who do not have symptoms, the following are suggested:
Clinical breast exam every 1-3 years for women aged 25-39
years
Clinical breast exam every year for women aged 40 years and
older

Ans: The blood of one person is different from another's due to
the presence of antigens on the surface of the erythrocytes.
The major method of typing blood is the ABO system and
includes types A, B, O, and AB. The other major method of
typing blood is the Rh factor, consisting of the two types, Rh+
and Rh-.
Cytomegalovirus
Ans: A group of large herpes-type viruses found in most body
fluids and most often causing an infection without signs or
symptoms. Can cause a serious illness when the individual has a
weakened immune system or when passed from mother to
unborn child.
Testing for cytomegalovirus

Estrogen fraction
Ans: Estradiol (E2) is the most potent estrogen produced in the
ovary. FSH & LH stimulate ovary to produce E2, peaks during
ovulatory phase of menstrual cycle. Used to eval menstrual and
fertility problems, menopausal status, sexual maturity,
gynecomastic, feminization syndromes or as a tumor marker of

pts w/ ovarian tumors. Estrone (E1) is secre ted by the ovary but
mostly converted from androstendione in peripheral tissues, it
is the major circulating estrogen after menopause. Estriol (E3)
is major estrogen in pregnant female. Urine & blood studies for
E3 provide objective means of assessing placental function and
fetal normality in high risk pregnancies.
luteinizing hormone (LH)
Ans: made in pituitary gland and triggers release of egg from
ovary (ovulation). spikes just before ovulation.
An LH test works closely with another hormone cal led follicle-
stimulating hormone (FSH) to control sexual function
FSH
Ans: A tropic hormone produced by the anterior pituitary gland
that targets the gonads.
In females, FSH stimulates the ovaries to develop follicles
(oogenesis) and secrete estrogen; in males, FSH stimulates
spermatogenesis.
controls the menstrual cycle and stimulates the growth of eggs
in the ovaries. FSH levels in women change throughout the
menstrual cycle, with the highest levels happening just before
an egg is released by the ovary. This is known as ovulation.
