In this article we determined the course of psychological distress during a breast cancer surveillance program in women at increased risk of developing hereditary breast cancer (BC). The sample comprised of 357 unaffected women (mean age 40.5 years) adhering to a surveillance programme (MRISC-study). Before and after two successive biannual surveillance appointments, the Impact of Event Scale (BC-specific distress) and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (general distress) were administered, totalling four measurement moments. In general, psychological distress remained within normal limits and decreased significantly after a surveillance appointment, except for breast cancer specific distress after the second appointment. Scheduled imaging examinations were not significantly related to distress. The course of BC specific distress differed significantly for risk over-estimators and for young (<40 years) excessive breast self examiners. The course of general distress differed significantly for women closely involved in a sister's BC-process. These more vulnerable subgroups may be in need of extra counselling and care. 相似文献

Benign breast biopsy (BBB) can be distressing for many women. Few studies have examined specific aspects of the BBB more or less distressing or risk factors for distress. Women (N = 51) who had a recent BBB reported the magnitude of distress associated with specific aspects of their experience. Clinical and demographic variables were also examined as risk factors for distress. All women reported some distress associated with the BBB with one third reporting their experience was "very stressful." Generally, biopsy-specific events were more distressing than follow-up mammography. Distress risk factors included younger age, less education, nonsurgical biopsy, and no family history of breast cancer. Clinical efforts to better manage biopsy-related distress are warranted. The authors identified clinical and demographic risk factors that furnish a simple, efficient, and potentially cost-effective means of stratifying risk for distress in the breast biopsy setting. 相似文献

The role of progesterone receptor (PR) status on the association between obesity and prognosis of estrogen receptor positive (ER+) breast cancer (BC) remains poorly understood. We aim to examine whether this association varies according to the tumor PR status. Data for 3,747 women diagnosed with nonmetastatic ER+ invasive BC between 1995 and 2010 were analyzed. Women were classified according to their body mass index (BMI) (<18.5, 18.5–24.9, 25.0–29.9 or ≥30.0 kg/m2). Tumor PR status (PR−, PR+) was evaluated by immunohistochemistry. Hazard ratios (HR) for survival outcomes were estimated using multivariable Cox regression models. Effect modification was assessed on both additive and multiplicative scales using relative excess risk due to interaction and ratio of HRs, respectively. After a median follow-up of 5.9 years (range: 3.4–9.2), women with PR− tumors and underweight (HR = 2.76, 95% CI: 1.40–4.91), overweight (HR = 2.02, 95% CI: 1.43–2.81) or obese (HR = 2.51, 95% CI: 1.67–3.65) had increased risk of all-cause mortality, when compared to normal weight women with PR+ tumors. A similar pattern of associations was observed for BC-specific mortality. In contrast, women with PR+ tumors had similar risks for both mortality outcomes, regardless of BMI. On the additive scale, all-cause mortality was modified by PR status for overweight and obese women, whereas for BC-specific mortality, it was only modified for underweight women. The same observations were found on the multiplicative scale. These results suggest that poorer survival associated with low and high BMI among women diagnosed with ER+ BC may depend on the tumor PR status. 相似文献

Magnitude and laterality of breast cancer risk according to histologic type of atypical hyperplasia: results from the Nurses' Health Study 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
BACKGROUND: Atypical hyperplasia (AH) in a benign breast biopsy is associated with an increased breast cancer risk. However, the influence of the histologic type of AH on the magnitude and laterality of breast cancer risk is poorly defined. METHODS: The authors conducted a case-control study of benign breast disease and breast cancer risk nested within the Nurses' Health Study (395 cases, 1610 controls). Benign breast biopsy slides were reviewed and categorized as showing nonproliferative lesions, proliferative lesions without atypia, or AH. Slides that showed AH were categorized further as atypical ductal hyperplasia (ADH) or atypical lobular hyperplasia (ALH). RESULTS: The odds ratio (OR) for breast cancer among all women with AH was 4.1 (95% confidence interval [95% CI], 2.9-5.8). However, among premenopausal women, breast cancer risk was higher for women with ALH (OR, 7.3; 95% CI, 3.8-14.2) than for women with ADH (OR, 3.1; 95% CI, 2.0-4.8). Overall, 58.9% of invasive breast cancers that developed in women with AH were in the ipsilateral breast, and the frequency of ipsilateral breast cancer was similar for women with ALH (61.3%) and women with ADH (55.9%; P = .66). CONCLUSIONS: Women with AH in a benign breast biopsy were at a substantially increased risk for the development of breast cancer. Among premenopausal women, the risk appeared to be greater for those with ALH than those with ADH. Because only approximately 60% of cancers that develop in women with AH occur in the ipsilateral breast, for the purposes of clinical management, these lesions are viewed best as markers of a generalized (bilateral) increase in breast cancer risk. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Radial scars (RS) are benign breast lesions that have been implicated as independent risk factors for invasive breast carcinoma (IBC). METHODS: A retrospective cohort study of 9556 women who underwent biopsy between 1950-1986 and enrolled in the Nashville Breast Cohort was performed to investigate the association between RS in a benign breast biopsy and the risk of IBC. The risk associated with RS and coexistent proliferative disease (PD) was assessed adjusting for age at biopsy using a Cox hazards regression analysis with time-dependent covariates. RESULTS: RS were identified in 880 women (9.2%). The average follow-up time was 20.4 years. Sixty-two women (7.0%) with RS developed IBC compared with 5.5% of controls. The relative risk of IBC associated with RS was 1.82 (95% confidence interval [95% CI], 1.2-2.7) at 10 years. Restricting the analysis to women age > 49 years increased the risk to 2.14 (95% CI, 0.6-2.8). These risks decreased with increasing years of follow-up. Approximately 92% of women with RS also had PD, but RS were present in only 1.3% of biopsies without PD. Analyses stratifying relative risk with regard to PD found RS to minimally elevate the relative risk of subsequent IBC. CONCLUSIONS: RS in the absence of PD is uncommon. Although the presence of RS in a benign breast biopsy mildly elevates the risk of IBC risk, the current analysis indicated that this risk can be largely attributed to the category of coexistent PD. In women with both RS and atypical hyperplasia, recommendations for interventions beyond biopsy should be based on the extent of atypical hyperplasia. 相似文献

The prevalence of risk factors contributing to metabolic syndrome (MetS) is increasing, and numerous components of MetS are associated with increased primary breast cancer (BC) risk. However, less is known about the relationship of MetS to BC outcomes. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether MetS, characterized by increased weight, hypertension, low HDL-cholesterol, high triglycerides, and diabetes or impaired glucose tolerance, is associated with risk of second breast cancer events (SBCE) and BC-specific mortality. Retrospective cohort study of women diagnosed with incident early-stage (I-II) BC between 1990 and 2008, enrolled in an integrated health plan. Outcomes of interest were SBCE, defined as recurrence or second primary BC, and BC-specific mortality. We used multivariable Cox proportional hazards models to estimate adjusted hazard ratios (HR) and 95 % confidence intervals (CI) for time-varying exposure to MetS components while accounting for potential confounders and competing risks. Among 4,216 women in the cohort, 26 % had ≥3 MetS components and 13 % developed SBCE during median follow-up of 6.3 years. Compared to women with no MetS components, presence of MetS (≥3 components) was associated with increased risk of SBCE (HR = 1.50, 95 % CI 1.08–2.07) and BC-specific mortality (HR = 1.65, 95 % CI 1.02–2.69). Of the individual components, only increased weight was associated with increased risk of SBCE (HR = 1.26, 95 % CI 1.06–1.49). MetS is associated with modestly increased risk of SBCE and BC-specific mortality. Given the growing population of BC survivors, further research in larger and more diverse populations is warranted. 相似文献

Background The majority of studies have reported risks of breast cancer (BC) from benign breast disease (BBD) in essentially homogenous
Caucasian populations. Information on breast cancer risk factors in larger, multi-ethnic populations should facilitate the
development of appropriate and targeted risk reduction strategies. Design Cases and controls were drawn from a parent BBD cohort of 4,970 women, 1,341 African–Americans (AA) and 3,629 non-AA who
were diagnosed with BBD after examination of an excisional breast biopsy. Risk factors (34 variables) included demographics,
lesion types, and epidemiological variables. Results The final multivariable model retained significance (P < 0.05) for lesion risk-level, fibroadenoma, and the interaction of age-by-race. Women with proliferative lesions (no atypia,
risk level 2) were 1.7 times more likely to develop BC when compared with women with non-proliferative lesions (OR = 1.7,
95% CI 1.13, 2.42, P = 0.009). Women with atypia (risk level 3) were 3.75 times more likely to develop BC compared to women with non-proliferative
lesions (OR = 3.75, 95% CI 1.99, 7.06, P < 0.001). The odds of breast cancer was approximately 35% lower among women with fibroadenoma as compared to women without
fibroadenoma (OR = 0.65, 95% CI 0.46, 0.94, P = 0.020). AA women with BBD who were 50 years or older were 2.28 times more likely to develop breast cancer as compared to
non-AA women who were less than 50 years old (OR = 2.28, 95% CI 1.34, 3.88, P = 0.002). Conclusion Women with fibroadenoma (nonproliferative or proliferative) were less likely to progress to BC. Older AA women are at greater
risk for progression to breast cancer from BBD. 相似文献

Background:
Studies comparing prognosis of breast cancer (BC) patients with and without locoregional recurrence (LR) present conflicting results. We aimed to improve our understanding of the impact of LR on prognosis by examining a large cohort of patients treated at Guy''s and St Thomas'' NHS Foundation Trust.Methods:
Risk factors associated with BC-specific death were investigated using Cox proportional hazards regression in 5199 women diagnosed between 1975 and 2007. Breast cancer-specific death following LR was assessed with Poisson regression.Results:
Overall, 552 women (11%) developed LR, with a median follow-up time of 4.28 years. Known factors associated with BC-specific death (tumour stage, grade, and nodal status) were of significance in our data. Women with a shorter disease-free interval had a worse prognosis. For instance, the HR for BC-specific death among women undergoing mastectomy with an LR 0.5–1 year after diagnosis of their primary tumour was 6.67 (95% CI: 3.71–11.99), when compared with women who did not experience LR.Conclusions:
It often remains difficult to distinguish between a genuine LR and a new primary. The HRs for risk of BC-specific death following a second lesion suggest that they may act as a marker of systemic disease, large tumour burden, or depleted host defence. The clinically highly relevant impairment in prognosis calls for further research into the underlying mechanisms. We showed that for at least 15 years of follow-up, the prognosis in women following the occurrence of an LR may benefit from careful diagnostic and therapeutic management. 相似文献10.
Many women fail to be reassured about their breast symptom following benign diagnosis. Identification of the factors contributing to this continued anxiety is important in order that appropriate intervention can be incorporated into the care of women undergoing diagnosis. In this study, we measured levels of anxiety, depression, stress, perceived personal risk of breast cancer, fear of breast cancer treatment and general health anxiety along with clinical and demographic variables in women undergoing investigation of breast symptoms. We then assessed if these factors were associated with reassurance about the breast symptom immediately following benign diagnosis. METHODS: Women attending a specialist 'one-stop' breast clinic completed a questionnaire in the clinic prior to diagnosis and a reassurance measure post-benign breast symptom diagnosis. RESULTS: Post-diagnosis, 67% of women were reassured however, 33% were not reassured about their breast symptom despite a benign diagnosis. Women who were not reassured were more likely to be educated only to high school level and have presenting symptoms of a change in breast shape/dimpling of the breast. There was a trend for women who were not reassured to have breast pain and be diagnosed with a benign breast cyst. Examination of the psychological variables showed that women who were not reassured compared to reassured women had higher levels of health anxiety, perceived stress, fear of breast cancer treatment and general anxiety. Logistic regression analysis entering all the predictors suggests that level of education was the strongest predictor of lack of reassurance following benign diagnosis. CONCLUSION: This study found that a significant proportion of women who undergo investigation and receive a benign diagnosis of their breast symptom experience uncertainty. Our finding that women who were not reassured were more likely to be educated only to high school level suggests that this group may benefit from additional information about breast symptoms and benign diagnosis. Additionally, our results indicate that women with high levels of anxiety, perceived stress and general worry about their health may need further reassurance in the immediate diagnosis phase. Further research focussing on how reassurance is interpreted in the context of women's perceptions about breast symptoms and breast disease is important so that appropriate support can be offered for women undergoing diagnosis of breast symptoms. 相似文献

High circulating glucose, insulin resistance and obesity appear to be associated with increased risk of breast cancer (BC). We sought further insight into the relation of these variables to BC. We assessed associations of BC risk with serum fasting glucose, insulin, homeostasis model assessment-insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) index and sex-binding hormone globulin (SHBG) in women recruited to the ORDET cohort who gave blood samples in 1987-1992. After a median 13.5 years of follow-up, 356 women developed BC. Four matched controls per case were selected by incidence density sampling, and rate ratios (RR) were estimated by conditional logistic regression. Women in the highest glucose quartile had a significantly greater risk of BC than those in the lowest glucose quartile (RR 1.63; 95% CI: 1.14-2.32; p for trend of 0.003). The association was significant in pre and post menopausal women separately and in women diagnosed after 55 years. Women in the highest HOMA-IR quartile had higher BC risk than the lowest quartile (RR 1.44; 95% CI: 1.03-2.02). Significantly increased BC risk in women diagnosed after 55 years was also present in the highest HOMA-IR quartile; in the same group decreased BC risk was significantly associated with high SHBG. The results of this study add to the existing epidemiological evidence that hyperglycemia and insulin resistance increase BC risk. 相似文献

Influence of exogenous estrogens, proliferative breast disease, and other variables on breast cancer risk 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The authors reevaluated 10,366 consecutive breast biopsy specimens of benign lesions performed between 1950 and 1968. Follow-up information was obtained on 3303 women with a median duration of follow-up of 17 years. This sample contained 84% of the patients originally selected for follow-up. The relative risk (RR) of developing breast cancer was 0.98 for women who took exogenous estrogens as compared to 1.8 for women who did not. Exogenous estrogens lowered the observed breast cancer risk in women with atypical hyperplasia (RR = 3.0 versus 4.5), proliferative disease without atypia (RR = 0.92 versus 1.9), and in women without proliferative disease (RR = 0.69 versus 0.91). Women who took estrogens before 1956 were at 2.3 times the risk of other estrogen users, presumably due to a dose effect. There was no significant association between breast cancer risk and birth control pills, cigarette smoking, or alcohol consumption. Exogenous estrogens are not associated with increased breast cancer risk in women with benign breast disease. A previous history of benign breast disease does not contraindicate replacement estrogen therapy. 相似文献

Biopsy confirmed benign breast disease, postmenopausal use of exogenous female hormones, and breast carcinoma risk 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
BACKGROUND: A history of proliferative benign breast disease has been shown to increase the risk of developing breast carcinoma, but, to the authors' knowledge, how postmenopausal exogenous female hormone use, in general, has affected breast carcinoma risk among women with a history of proliferative breast disease with or without atypia has not been well established. METHODS: In the current case-control study, nested within the Nurses' Health Study, benign breast biopsy slides of 133 postmenopausal breast carcinoma cases and 610 controls with a history of benign breast disease, were reviewed. Reviewers had no knowledge of case status. RESULTS: Women with proliferative disease without atypia had a relative risk for postmenopausal breast carcinoma of 1.8 (95%, confidence interval [CI]: 1.1 to 2.8), and women with atypical hyperplasia had a relative risk of 3.6 (95%, CI: 2.0 to 6.4) compared with women who had nonproliferative benign histology. Neither current postmenopausal use of exogenous female hormones nor long term use for 5 or more years further increased the risk of breast carcinoma in the study population beyond that already associated with their benign histology. CONCLUSIONS: Women who had proliferative benign breast disease, with or without atypia, were at moderately to substantially increased risk of developing postmenopausal breast carcinoma compared with women who had nonproliferative benign conditions. In the current study, postmenopausal exogenous female hormone use in general did not further increase the breast carcinoma risk for women with proliferative benign breast disease. However, the analysis did not exclude the possibility of increased risk with a particular hormone combination or dosage. 相似文献

Objective We evaluated the association of risk factors for breast cancer with reported follow-up procedures after abnormal mammography among diverse women.Methods: Women ages 40–80 years were recruited from four clinical sites after receiving a screening mammography result that was classified as abnormal but probably benign, suspicious or highly suspicious, or indeterminate using standard criteria. A telephone-administered survey asked about breast cancer risk factors (family history, estrogen use, physical inactivity, age of menarche, age at birth of first child, parity, alcohol use), and self-reported use of diagnostic tests (follow-up mammogram, breast ultrasound, or biopsy).Results: Nine hundred and seventy women completed the interview, mean age was 56, 42% were White, 19% Latina, 25% African American, and 15% Asian. White women were more likely to have a positive family history (20%), use estrogen (32%), be nulliparous (17%) and drink alcohol (62%). Latinas were more likely to be physically inactive (93%), African Americans to have early onset of menarche (53%) and Asians first child after age 30 (21%). White women were more likely to have suspicious mammograms (40%) and to undergo biopsy (45%). In multivariate models, Latinas were more likely to report breast ultrasound, physical inactive women reported fewer follow-up mammograms, and care outside the academic health center was associated with fewer biopsies. Indeterminate and suspicious mammography interpretations were significantly associated with more biopsy procedures (OR=8.4; 95% CI = 3.8–18.5 and OR=59; 95% CI = 35–100, respectively).Conclusions: Demographic profile and breast cancer risk factors have little effect on self-reported use of diagnostic procedures following an abnormal mammography examination. Level of mammography abnormality determines diagnostic evaluation but variance by site of care was observed. 相似文献

Predicting psychological morbidity in Chinese women after surgery for breast carcinoma 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
BACKGROUND: Between 30% and 70% of western women experience psychological morbidity after undergoing surgery for breast carcinoma; however, the rates and risk factors among Chinese women are unknown. Identifying at-risk women enables preventive intervention. METHODS: Among 430 Chinese women who were approached within 1 week after undergoing surgery for early-stage breast carcinoma (baseline), 405 women (94%) completed measures of self-efficacy and psychological morbidity (the Chinese Health Questionnaire 12-item instrument [CHQ12]) and completed retrospective measures of treatment decision-making (TDM) difficulties, satisfaction with TDM involvement, and satisfaction with consultation and treatment outcome expectations. One-month postsurgery follow-up (follow-up), CHQ12 scores for 367 of 405 women (91%) were adjusted for concurrent physical symptom distress and trait optimism (the revised Chinese Life Orientation Test) and baseline predictors using stepwise multivariate regression. RESULTS: At baseline 28% of women evidenced mild psychological morbidity, and 42% of women evidenced moderate-to-severe psychological morbidity: At follow-up, the respective rates were 32% and 36%. Preferred TDM involvement was associated with lower psychological morbidity (F = 6.702; P < 0.001). Baseline CHQ12 scores were predicted by outcome expectancies and TDM difficulties (adjusted regression coefficient [R(2)] = 0.192). Baseline CHQ12 scores and follow-up chemotherapy, in turn, predicted physical symptom distress at follow-up. After adjustment, high physical symptom distress, baseline psychological morbidity, low optimism, and no chemotherapy independently predicted follow-up CHQ12 scores (adjusted R(2) = 0.585). CONCLUSIONS: Psychological morbidity was linked to women's TDM difficulties, their inability to anticipate treatment effects accurately, and physical symptom distress, possibly exacerbated by symptom misattribution. Optimizing TDM support and helping women accurately determine outcomes in terms of symptom experience and meaning and physical appearance may help to reduce psychological morbidity. Women who have TDM difficulties should be considered to be at high risk for psychological distress. 相似文献

Nonadherence to adjuvant endocrine breast cancer treatment adversely affects disease-free and overall survival. Clinical predictors of nonadherence may allow for specific interventions to reduce nonadherence and improve survival. The aim was to investigate whether clinical characteristics predict nonadherence. Clinical characteristics and information on adherence were obtained from 417 patients with breast cancer in a population-based prospective cohort from southern Sweden using patient charts, pathology reports, and questionnaires filled out at the 1- and 2-year follow-up visits. At the 1- and 2-year follow-up visits, 36 (8.6%) and 33 (9.7%) patients were nonadherent, respectively. Thirteen of the nonadherent patients declined treatment and were never prescribed endocrine treatment. A body mass index (BMI) < 25 kg/m(2), preoperative current smoking, and drinking alcohol less often than twice a month predicted nonadherence at the 1-year [relative risk (RR), 5.24; 95% confidence interval (CI), 2.75-9.97] and the 2-year visits (RR, 4.07; 95% CI, 2.11-7.84) in patients with at least two of these clinical characteristics. When low histologic grade (I) was added to the model, having at least two of these four clinical characteristics predicted nonadherence at the 1-year (RR, 4.94; 95% CI, 2.46-10.00) and the 2-year visits (RR, 4.74; 95% CI, 2.28-9.87), the two profiles had a sensitivity ranging from 60.6% to 72.7%, whereas the specificity ranged from 68.0% to 78.4%. Nonadherence at the 1-year visit was associated with an increased risk for early breast cancer events (HR, 2.97; 95% CI, 1.08-8.15), adjusted for age and tumor characteristics. In conclusion, two clinical profiles predicted early nonadherence and may allow for targeted interventions to increase adherence if validated in an independent cohort. 相似文献

Psychological distress and surveillance behaviors of women with a family history of breast cancer. 总被引:17,自引:0,他引:17
K M Kash J C Holland M S Halper D G Miller 《Journal of the National Cancer Institute》1992,84(1):24-30
Women with a family history of breast cancer are at increased risk for developing the disease. This study investigated the beliefs of women at high risk for breast cancer (one or more first-degree relatives with breast cancer) about their breast cancer risk and the impact of this information on their surveillance behaviors and psychological distress. The Health Belief Model and the Fear Arousing Communications Theory were used in this study. Two hundred and seventeen women, enrolled in a breast protection program, completed a questionnaire regarding health beliefs and behaviors, social support, and psychological distress. While 94% came in for regularly scheduled mammograms, only 69% came in for regular clinical breast examinations. A discriminant function analysis revealed that increased cancer anxiety decreased regular clinical examinations (coefficient = -.65). Only 40% performed breast self-examination monthly, 10% never performed breast self-examination, and 50% did not perform breast self-examination regularly. High breast self-examination performance prior to coming to the program was the best predictor of current breast self-examination, and high anxiety predicted poor adherence to monthly breast self-examination (multiple R = .61). More than 27% of the women at high risk were defined as having a level of psychological distress consistent with the need for counseling. Women reporting more barriers to screening, fewer social supports, and low social desirability had more psychological distress (multiple R = .75). Higher anxiety was directly related to poor attendance at a clinical breast examination and poor adherence to monthly breast self-examination.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

IntroductionIdentifying high familial breast cancer (FBC) risk improves detection of yet unknown BRCA1/2-mutation carriers, for whom BC risk is both highly likely and potentially preventable. We assessed whether a new online self-test could identify women at high FBC risk in population-based BC screening without inducing anxiety or distress.MethodsAfter their visit for screening mammography, women were invited by email to take an online self-test for identifying highly increased FBC risk-based on Dutch guidelines. Exclusion criteria were previously diagnosed as increased FBC risk or a personal history of BC. Anxiety (State-Trait Anxiety Inventory Dutch Version), distress (Hospital Anxiety Depression Scale) and BC risk perception were assessed using questionnaires, which were completed immediately before and after taking the online self-test and 2 weeks later.ResultsOf the 562 women invited by email, 406 (72%) completed the online self-test while 304 also completed questionnaires (response rate 54%). After exclusion criteria, 287 (51%) were included for data analysis. Median age was 56 years (range 50–74). A high or moderate FBC risk was identified in 12 (4%) and three (1%) women, respectively. After completion of the online self-test, anxiety and BC risk perception were decreased while distress scores remained unchanged. Levels were below clinical relevance. Most women (85%) would recommend the self-test; few (3%) would not.ConclusionThe online self-test identified previously unknown women at high FBC risk (4%), who may carry a BRCA1/2-mutation, without inducing anxiety or distress. We therefore recommend offering this self-test to women who attend population-based screening mammography for the first time. 相似文献

Women at high risk of developing breast cancer who attend surveillance programs (SP) overestimate their risk and are highly anxious; those who are anxious are less likely to perform breast self-examination (BSE). We attempted to determine if counseling by a breast surgeon could increase women's accuracy of risk perception and hence decrease their anxiety and increase their likelihood of performing BSE. We also tested the efficacy of a series of four informative newsletters in reducing anxiety. All 145 women who scheduled an initial appointment during one year for our SP were asked to participate; 94 women completed a self-report questionnaire containing validated instruments before their first SP visit. Of these, 41 women were randomly selected to receive the newsletter. Women were mailed follow-up questionnaires at 2 and 4 months after their initial visit. Of the sample, 76% overestimated their risk of developing breast cancer by at least doubling their actual risk as measured with empiric risk tables. Their psychological distress was between 0.5 to 1 standard deviation above normative scores. Being older and having greater confidence in the ability to perform BSE were the only variables that predicted performance of BSE. A follow-up assessment performed 4 months after the initial visit showed a significant improvement in the accuracy of perception of risk (p < 0.01) and a reduction of cancer anxiety (p < 0.05), but no significant change in performance of BSE. The newsletters produced no significant effect. Women attending a breast surveillance program showed a significant improvement in their ability to estimate the risk of developing breast cancer and a reduction in their anxiety after counseling, but no significant change in performance of BSE. The possibility that improvement in risk perception and reduction of cancer anxiety can lead to greater adherence to screening behaviors needs to be tested with a larger number of women and over a longer time period. 相似文献

For the evaluation of non-palpable lesions of the breast, image-guided large-core needle biopsies are increasingly replacing needle-localized open breast biopsies. In this study, the diagnostic accuracy of this minimally invasive technique was evaluated by reviewing the available literature. Five cohort studies were included in a meta-analysis. Sensitivity rate, histological agreement between needle biopsy and subsequent surgery or long-term mammographic follow-up and clinical consequences for different disease prevalences were assessed. The sensitivity rate of large-core needle biopsy for the diagnosis of breast cancer was high (97%). The reclassified agreement rate between core biopsy and subsequent surgical biopsy or long-term mammographic follow-up was also high (94%). In case of 20% breast cancer prevalence among women referred after screening (as in the US), the risk of breast cancer despite benign large-core needle biopsy result is less than 1%. In European countries, however, prevalence of breast cancer among referred women is 60-70%. This would result in a risk of breast cancer despite benign large-core needle biopsy result of 4-6%. The results of this meta-analysis indicate that the image guided large-core needle biopsy is a promising alternative for the needle localized breast biopsy. However, additional research is needed to explore the limiting factors of the technique. Without such detailed knowledge, a benign histological diagnosis on large-core needle biopsy in countries with high prevalence of malignancy among referred women should be interpreted with caution. 相似文献
