If you were hired to increase the awareness of the breast cancer to the general public, what methods or strategies would you integrate?
Ans) Strategies for increasing awareness of breast cancer:
- Breast cancer is the 2nd leading cause of cancer death among women.
For women at increased risk, the screen guidelines are:
-earlier mammogram screening
-breast MRI
-more frequent clinical breast exams (CBE)
-consistent breast self exam may facilitate breast self
awareness.
Assess the risk factors:
-excess weight gain during adulthood
-sedentary lifestyle
-smoking
-dietary fat intake
-obesity
-alcohol intake
-environmental factors (radiation exposure)
Explain the clinical manifestation of breast cancer:
-a lump, thickening, or mammography abnormality in breast
-most often in upper outer quadrant
-rate of lesion growth varies (slow growing lesions associated with
lower mortality rates).
To reduce risk for breast cancer:
-maintaining a healthy weight
-exercising regularly
-limiting alcohol
-eating nutritious food
-never smoking/quitting
-comply with screening guidelines

In the general population, one woman in eight will develop breast cancer. Research has shown that 1 woman in 600 carries a mutation of the BRCA gene. Seven out of 10 women with this mutation develop breast cancer. Find the probability that a randomly selected woman will develop breast cancer given that she has a mutation of the BRCA gene. (Round to one decimal place as needed.)
A public hospital would like to reduce breast cancer mortality by 20% every year. In order to do that it has two different options: To buy technology X that allows detecting breast cancer at an earlier stage reducing breast cancer mortality by 20% every year. Technology X will be bought at the beginning of 2020 (year 0) and it will be operative right away, meaning that mortality will be reduced by 20% already in 2020. The technology will be operative...
In a randomized controlled trial of screening for two forms of cancer (breast and colon), more than 150,000 men and women were recruited to take part. Follow-up of these individuals took place over an average of 5 years for cancer incidence and cause-specific mortality. In an analysis unrelated to those bearing on the efficacy of screening, incidence and mortality rates in all trial participants combined were compared to those of demographically comparable individuals in the population as a whole. The...

In a study of breast cancer, a mother was considered exposed if she first gave birth at 30 years of age or older. Among 1,628 mothers who were exposed, 31 subsequently developed breast cancer. Among the 4,450 mothers who first gave birth before the age of 30, 65 subsequently developed breast cancer. What is the appropriate conclusion regarding the attributable risk of breast cancer due to an older age at first birth (per 1,000)? Across the US, give birth for...
