THE CHANGING PATIENT PATHWAY IN BREAST CANCER FROM
THE CHANGING PATIENT PATHWAY IN BREAST CANCER: FROM GP TO CURE MR TERENCE J. BOYLE Consultant Breast Surgeon BEACON HOSPITAL Clinical Lead - Beacon Breast Centre & ST JAMES’S HOSPITAL Clinical Lead - Breast Care Department
OUTLINE • Presentation/initial work-up – Triple Assessment • Subsequent investigation – Staging: Breast, axilla, systemic • Characterising the disease – Tumour GRADE, Disease STAGE – Biomarker Profile • Treatment strategies – Surgery, systemic therapies, radiotherapy • Follow-up/ongoing care issues – Psychological support (NB: Specialist Nurses) – Physiotherapy, chronic pain, ‘reconstruction’
RAPID DIAGNOSTIC BREAST CLINIC (Beacon Breast Centre) - Rapid Access - TRIPLE ASSESSMENT BREAST SYMPTOM (other reason for referral) CLINICAL ASSESSMENT BREAST IMAGING Mammogram/ ultrasound (+/- MRI) HISTOPATHOLOGY - Core Biopsy - Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology • Discussion at weekly Breast Care Multi-Disciplinary Team Meeting (MDM - Treatment Planning) • ‘Results’ Clinic
GP Breast Referral Guideline Development Group Meeting 7: 25/03/2019
CLINICAL ASSESSMENT HISTORY • Details of breast symptomatology Lump, nipple changes/discharge skin changes, change in size/shape, duration • Past history of breast disease Previous breast imaging • Family history of breast disease • Gynaecologic history • Factors increasing risk PHYSICAL EXAMINATION
RADIOLOGY
BREAST PATHOLOGY - INVASIVE DISEASE HISTOLOGIC TYPE DUCTAL vs LOBULAR • Paget’s disease of the nipple • Inflammatory breast cancer TUMOUR CHARACTERISTICS • Tumour size • Tumour grade (I, III) • Hormone receptor status (oestrogen / progesterone) • HER-2 protein status • Ki 67 Proliferation Index NB: Triple negative breast cancer (ER neg, PR neg, HER-2 neg) NB: Phyllodes tumour / cystosarcoma phyllodes
STAGING BREAST CANCER
Staging-TNM • • • T 0: subclinical T 1: <2 cm T 2: >2 cm, <5 cm T 3: >5 cm T 4: chest wall or skin involvement
Staging-TNM • • N 0: no nodes N 1: ipsilateral axillary mobile nodes N 2: ipsilateral axillary fixed nodes N 3: Ipsilateral internal mammary nodes • M 0: no distant metastases • M 1: distant metastases
MANAGEMENT OF BREAST CANCER DIAGNOSIS (Triple Assessment) Characterisation of Breast Disease Axillary assessment Systemic staging investigations Treatment Planning: Surgery, Systemic therapy, Radiotherapy
MANAGEMENT OF BREAST CANCER Characterisation of Breast Disease Axillary assessment ANATOMICAL CONSIDERATIONS: Size of tumour, extent of disease, remainder of breast AXILLARY NODAL STATUS: Pre-operative staging Intra-operative staging NEO-ADJUVANT SYSTEMIC THERAPY Downstage breast/axillary disease - Breast conservation vs mastectomy - Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy vs Axillary Clearance - Downstage disease to reduce surgical complexity
The Sentinel Node
TUMOUR BIOLOGY Biological assessment of Disease Tumour Grade Proliferation Index Nodal Status • ONCOTYPE TEST Recurrence Score Endocrine Rx vs Chemotherapy ‘LETHAL’ BREAST CANCER: • • • BIOMARKER PROFILE - Oestrogen receptor - Progesterone receptor - HER-2 status Triple Negative Breast Cancer (ER/PR Neg, HER-2 Neg) HER-2 Pos Breast Cancer (NB: anti-HER-2 therapies) ‘FAVOURABLE’ BREAST CANCER: • • Hormone receptor positive, HER-2 Negative Axillary node negative
SYSTEMIC STAGING OF BREAST CANCER SITES OF METASTATIC SPREAD • NODAL: – Ipsilateral / contralateral axilla – Neck: supraclavicular fossa / cervical chain – Internal mammary chain – Distant / systemic • SKELETAL: anywhere • VISCERAL: – Lungs, liver, brain
STAGING BREAST CANCER PRE-OPERATIVE SYSTEMIC STAGING INVESTIGATIONS • Baseline bloods: (FBC, coag, CRP, L/R/B profile, glucose, CA 153) • CXR (early disease) or • CT Thorax/Abdomen/Pelvis • Isotope bone scan • Other investigations as indicated (PET-CT, MRI)
TREATMENT STRATEGIES FOR BREAST CANCER 1. SURGICAL THERAPY • 2. Primary vs Delayed CHEMOTHERAPY • • • 3. Adjuvant (post-operative) Neo-adjuvant (primary / pre-operative) Palliative HORMONAL THERAPY • 4. Disease must be ER / PR positive IMMUNOTHERAPY • Disease must overexpress HER-2 5. RADIOTHERAPY 6. NOVEL THERAPIES (Anti-angiogenics etc)
MANAGEMENT OF BREAST CANCER TREATMENT STRATEGIES LOCAL THERAPY Surgery - Breast - Axilla REGIONAL THERAPY Breast, axilla Chest wall Supra-clavicular fossa SYSTEMIC THERAPY Endocrine Rx Chemotherapy Immunotherapy
Molecular profiling to determine if patient will benefit from Chemotherapy? § § § Gene assay performed on paraffin-embedded archival breast cancer tissue Predicts risk of recurrence at 10 yrs Data generated from retrospective analysis of archival tissue Gene set has been validated across multiple validation sets using prospectively defined end points (NSABP B 14 & Kaiser Permanente) Final gene set: relapse-free interval correlations across three independent studies: testing 250 genes in 447 patients
