A parliamentary democracy with a constitutional monarch in southeast Asia, consisting of 11 states (West Malaysia) on the Malay Peninsula and two states (East Malaysia) on the island of BORNEO. It is also called the Federation of Malaysia. Its capital is Kuala Lumpur. Before 1963 it was the Union of Malaya. It reorganized in 1948 as the Federation of Malaya, becoming independent from British Malaya in 1957 and becoming Malaysia in 1963 as a federation of Malaya, Sabah, Sarawak, and Singapore (which seceded in 1965). The form Malay- probably derives from the Tamil malay, mountain, with reference to its geography.

Factors associated with screening mammography and breast self-examination intentions. (1/211)

The factors associated with the use of two methods for the early detection of breast cancer were assessed using a theoretical framework derived from the theory of reasoned action and the Health Belief Model. Telephone interviews were conducted with 170 women aged between 50 and 70 years, randomly selected from the telephone directory of a provincial city in Victoria, Australia. The model explained 47% of the variance in intentions to have a mammogram and 22% of the variance in intentions to practise breast self-examination (BSE). The data supported the prediction that different variables would be associated with each method of early detection of breast cancer. Intentions to have a mammogram were associated with perceived susceptibility to breast cancer, knowing a woman who has had a mammogram, previous mammography history and Pap test history. Intentions to do BSE were associated with self efficacy, knowledge of breast cancer issues, concern about getting breast cancer and employment status. Both screening methods were associated with prior behaviour and concern about getting breast cancer. (+info)

Detection of metachronous breast carcinoma: the role of follow-up? (2/211)

Second primary (metachronous) breast carcinoma occurs at a rate of approximately 1% per year. Early detection of metachronous carcinomas will optimise the chances of curative treatment. The aim of this study was to identify the method of detection of metachronous carcinomas, so that efforts to detect these tumours can be made more focused. Thirteen patients presented twice to a surgical department in a 7-year period with second primary breast carcinomas. The means of detection of the second primary carcinoma was identified in each case. Eleven of the patients presented with new symptoms which they had noticed themselves. The remaining two carcinomas were detected mammographically, and their presence was confirmed on clinical examination. In no case was the second primary carcinoma detected by clinical examination alone. Metachronous carcinoma is unlikely to be detected by routine clinical examination, but rapid assessment of new symptoms should be facilitated. Follow-up mammography at regular intervals should also improve early detection of metachronous breast carcinoma. (+info)

Receptivity of a worksite breast cancer screening education program. (3/211)

A breast cancer screening education program was offered to 97 major worksites in Forsyth County, North Carolina. Worksites could design a program by choosing components that consisted of (1) brochures, (2) breast cancer education classes taught by program staff or (3) sending company nurses to be trained by program staff to then teach employees at the worksite. A total of 63 out of the original 97 companies (65%) accepted and offered a program to their employees. Worksites that chose to sponsor a program were more likely to have already sponsored breast cancer education programs at their worksites (P = 0.027) or to have a medical department (P = 0.006). The type of component selected was significantly associated with a history of sponsoring other health education programs (P < 0.001). Fourteen worksites chose the more intensive component, the training of a company nurse. More than half of the worksites that had never sponsored and had no plans to sponsor worksite breast education programs were receptive to our program (43 of 73, 59%). The majority of these sites (67%) chose the brochure. These results indicate that worksites are receptive to offering breast cancer educational programs if varying types of components can be selected. (+info)

GPs' management of women seeking help for familial breast cancer. (4/211)

OBJECTIVE: We aimed to ascertain how often patients seek help for familial breast cancer in primary care, and to identify GPs management of these patients, in order to see whether guidelines are followed. METHODS: This was a descriptive study. GPs (n = 202) attending a postgraduate education programme were asked to fill in a questionnaire which included questions about the number of patients seeking help for familial breast cancer within the last 3 months and about their management strategies. RESULTS: About 80% of the GPs reported that they referred women with concerns about familial breast cancer for further diagnostics (mammography or ultrasound). For half these referrals a plan of regular appointments was set up, and one-eighth of the referrals included breast examination by a physician. Breast self-examination was advised in 50% of the cases. Estimates given to women regarding their breast cancer risk varied considerably. There was a strong relationship between risk estimates and management strategies. CONCLUSIONS: Current guidelines regarding surveillance of women with breast cancer in the family were only partly followed. These guidelines do not give sufficient information to define whether there is an increased risk for breast cancer. These guidelines need to be refined. (+info)

Management of breast cancer after Hodgkin's disease. (5/211)

PURPOSE: To evaluate the incidence, detection, pathology, management, and prognosis of breast cancer occurring after Hodgkin's disease. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Seventy-one cases of breast cancer in 65 survivors of Hodgkin's disease were analyzed. RESULTS: The median age at diagnosis was 24.6 years for Hodgkin's disease and 42.6 years for breast cancer. The relative risk for invasive breast cancer after Hodgkin's disease was 4.7 (95% confidence interval, 3.4 to 6. 0) compared with an age-matched cohort. Cancers were detected by self-examination (63%), mammography (30%), and physician exam (7%). The histologic distribution paralleled that reported in the general population (85% ductal histology) as did other features (27% positive axillary lymph nodes, 63% positive estrogen receptors, and 25% family history). Although 87% of tumors were less than 4 cm, 95% were managed with mastectomy because of prior radiation. Two women underwent lumpectomy with breast irradiation. One of these patients developed tissue necrosis in the region of overlap with the prior mantle field. The incidence of bilateral breast cancer was 10%. Adjuvant systemic therapy was well tolerated; doxorubicin was used infrequently. Ten-year disease-specific survival was as follows: in-situ disease, 100%; stage I, 88%; stage II, 55%; stage III, 60%; and stage IV, zero. CONCLUSION: The risk of breast cancer is increased after Hodgkin's disease. Screening has been successful in detecting early-stage cancers. Pathologic features and prognosis are similar to that reported in the general population. Repeat irradiation of the breast can lead to tissue necrosis, and thus, mastectomy remains the standard of care in most cases. (+info)

Breast self examination for early detection of breast cancer. (6/211)

Breast cancer is the commonest form of cancer in women in Western countries and second most common in women of developing countries like India. In the absence of an exact aetiological agent for breast cancer, the most appropriate way of controlling it is by early detection and treatment. Of the various methods of screening for breast cancer, mammography is the method of choice but its use is limited due to high cost and unavailability. Considering this, breast self examination (BSE) is an ideal method which can be done by every woman at her leisure time with little training. Medical and paramedical professionals can act as trend setters in promoting BSE for control of breast cancer in the community. (+info)

Practice of breast self-examination amongst women attending a Malaysian Well Person's Clinic. (7/211)

The practice of breast self-examination (BSE) amongst 1,303 women registered with the Well Person's Clinic, Outpatient Department, Hospital Ipoh between April 1995 and March 1997 were assessed through a questionnaire. Majority (98.2%) were never taught and did not practise BSE, 17(1.3%) practised BSE while 6 (0.5%) were taught BSE but failed to put it into practice. Only 5.8% of 52 women with past/family history of breast cancer/lump and 2.9% of 207 women with past/family history of other cancers were practising BSE regularly. Three out of 64 women with breast lumps found on clinical breast examination discovered the lumps themselves. Five of the 64 women were subsequently confirmed to have breast carcinoma. (+info)

Effects of persuasive message order on coping with breast cancer information. (8/211)

The current study explored the impact of varying the order of message components on coping with breast cancer information. In a 2 x 2 x 2 factorial design, threat information, coping information and order of information were manipulated. College students read persuasive essays that varied in emphasis on threat of developing breast cancer and effectiveness of breast self-examination (BSE) in averting the threat of cancer. Participants who read the high-threat message reported higher intentions to perform BSE, more rational problem solving and more hopelessness than did those who read a low-threat message. The coping information messages produced a similar pattern of results. In addition, those who read the high-coping message reported less fatalism than did participants who read the low-coping message. When threat information was presented first, the high-threat message led to less hopelessness and reliance on religious faith than when the coping information was presented first. These results demonstrate the threatening health information energizes one to act in both adaptive and maladaptive ways, and that coping information decreases the tendency to respond maladaptively to the health threat. They also suggest that the order of presentation of the information may affect the extent to which people respond adaptively. (+info)

The role of radiographic screening for breast cancer ( mammography ) in women younger than 50 years is controversial. (medscape.com)
Physical examination of the breasts had been considered both an important adjunct to mammography and a significant screening tool in its own right, but its utility in screening for breast cancer is being questioned. (medscape.com)
The United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) concluded that the current evidence is insufficient to assess the additional benefits and harms of clinical breast examination beyond screening mammography in women aged 40 years or older at average risk. (medscape.com)
Of the various methods of screening for breast cancer, mammography is the method of choice but its use is limited due to high cost and unavailability. (who.int)
However, mammography screening is neither feasible nor affordable in many developing countries where breast cancer incidence is rapidly increasing. (who.int)
The Regional Cancer Centre, Trivandrum, India and the International Agency for Research on Cancer initiated a cluster randomized controlled trial involving 116,000 women in the Trivandrum district (India) in 2006 to evaluate whether three rounds of triennial clinical breast examination (CBE), an alternative to mammography screening, can reduce the inci-dence of advanced disease and breast cancer mortality. (who.int)
As digital breast tomosynthesis, or 3D mammography, has become more widely available, a growing number of women are getting that screening test rather than the standard 2D mammography. (cnn.com)
The 3D mammography has been found to reduce the number of false positive results and identify more cancers in some women with dense breasts, though the impact on mortality is unknown. (cnn.com)
There are several modalities of breast cancer screening, including mammography, ultrasonography (US), and magnetic resonance imaging [ 3 ]. (e-ultrasonography.org)
Due to its advantages including non-invasiveness, radiation-free nature, convenience, and relatively low cost, US has been regarded as an effective complementary imaging modality adjunct to mammography in breast cancer screening [ 4 , 5 ]. (e-ultrasonography.org)
Screening through mammography is the best way to stay safe when it comes to breast cancer - you know it. (miotinternational.com)
Of these, ultrasonography is the preferred modality, because of the increased density of the adolescent breast, which makes mammography difficult to interpret. (pediatriconcall.com)
Conclusions: Despite the frequent use of screening mammography, 43% of breast cancers presented as a palpable mass or otherwise symptomatic presentation. (pfeiffertheface.com)
For men aged 25 years or older, or those who have a highly concerning physical examination, mammography is recommended as the initial test and ultrasonography is useful if mammography is inconclusive or suspicious. (cancer.gov)
The increased numbers of small cancers detected at mammography screening allow breast-conserving surgery (BCS) for many women, underscoring the importance of accurate assessment of tumor extent. (radiologykey.com)
In the pre-magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) era, surgical and oncologic treatment planning methods were judged primarily by clinical examination, mammography, and ultrasound imaging. (radiologykey.com)
Breast density is established by mammography. (craigdailypress.com)
It can be more difficult to spot cancer in dense breasts using mammography alone. (craigdailypress.com)
Background: Screening mammography is a radiographic examination of the breast performed for early detection of breast cancer in asymptomatic women. (bvsalud.org)
However, those who are at increased risk of breast cancer should start screening mammography earlier. (bvsalud.org)
Conclusion: Screening mammography was found out to be useful in detecting various forms of breast pathologies which were mostly breast masses, calcifications, and architectural distortions. (bvsalud.org)
The pamphlet will be providing a brief knowledge to participant regarding early signs of breast cancer and instruction and indication for mammography procedure and clinical breast examination. (who.int)
After 5 years fol ow-up, she developed mastalgia and breast induration, and behind mammography and ultrasound without suspicious lesions, a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) was performed and showed a highly suggestive of malignancy mass measuring 8.0cm and invading chest wall. (bvsalud.org)
Ilse Vejborg: Mammography is a fast examination, showing the whole breast, if performed properly. (myesr.org)
Mammography has a high sensitivity to fatty tissue but the sensitivity can be compromised in dense breasts. (myesr.org)
the latter is probably partly explained by the fact that in contrast to mammography screening, where high volume readers reading more than 5,000 examinations a year are mandatory, high volume readers of MR mammography are rarer. (myesr.org)
Mammography screening is the only imaging modality proven to reduce breast cancer mortality. (myesr.org)
Nationwide mammography screening in Denmark was implemented rather late compared to our Nordic neighbours and Denmark has had a higher mortality of breast cancer than the other Nordic countries. (myesr.org)
The major advantage of mammography screening is a reduction in breast cancer mortality. (myesr.org)
ESR: The most common method for breast examination is mammography. (myesr.org)
IV: In Denmark we have national guidelines (Danish Breast Cancer Group, DBCG) recommending that in symptomatic breast patients, screening mammography is not sufficient. (myesr.org)
In all symptomatic patients, including women recalled for assessment from the screening programme, a 'clinical mammography' should be performed, including clinical examination (usually performed by the radiologist), mammography (including extra views, tomosynthesis or magnifications) and ultrasound examinations should be performed on all patients with a palpable lump or uncertain, suspicious or malignant findings on mammography. (myesr.org)

Breast cancers that are detected when smaller or nonpalpable are more treatable and thus are associated with a more favorable prognosis. (medscape.com)

Female cancers that are routinely screened for include cervical, colon, and breast. (drlesliegreenberg.com)
Fact: Mammograms fail to detect around 10% to 20% of breast cancers. (ebuyson.com)
All breast cancers develop in the cells that line the ducts or lobules (parts that make milk and carry it to the nipple), and all women have the same number of these cells regardless of breast size. (ebuyson.com)
In the past 2 decades, new and improved imaging technologies and the use of breast cancer screening have led to the detection of smaller and earlier-stage breast cancers. (techvir.com)
Furthermore, there has been a trend toward less aggressive treatment of small breast cancers, which has led to the development of less invasive alternatives than surgery with promising effectiveness, and less morbidity. (techvir.com)
