3 m.0:00
Our next patient is a 62-year-old woman with
0:03
a history of left breast cancer four years
0:06
ago, and she's here for annual surveillance.
0:11
So here are the standard CC and MLO views for
0:14
our patient, and this patient is heterogeneously
0:18
dense, so considerably greater breast tissue
0:21
density than the last patient we looked
0:23
at, and her cancer was in the left lateral
0:28
posterior breast, and just looking at her.
0:34
Her tissue looks fine, looks unchanged.
0:38
We had tomosynthesis images, everything
0:45
looking good.
0:47
We, um, mark the patient's scar on
0:50
her skin with a scar marker, but
0:52
her breast cancer was way back here.
0:55
You know, if we have images from the time that
0:58
the patient was diagnosed, I always want to see
1:01
where the actual cancer was, because sometimes
1:05
the scar on the skin is at some distance away.
1:08
If the surgeon has made a periareolar scar and then
1:11
tunneled under to get to the area of interest.
1:15
So this is the MLO view for the same
1:17
patient, and you can see that her lumpectomy
1:22
site is actually pretty far posterior.
1:27
But really no change from her prior study.
1:30
She does have post-lumpectomy changes.
1:33
This is also a patient who, because
1:35
of her very dense tissue, she gets an
1:39
annual MRI in addition to mammography.
1:43
So, you know, we don't add anything
1:45
else at the time of her surveillance.
1:48
So, you know, unless there's something
1:49
new, we wouldn't do an ultrasound.
1:53
She also has the other breast.
1:55
There was a mass here that has
1:57
been stable for a long time.
2:01
So nothing new there either.
2:04
Looking at all of her tomosynthesis
2:06
images and her tissue looks
2:11
stable.
2:12
The right CC, she's had a biopsy
2:16
up here, and there's that very far
2:20
posterior lateral mass and biopsy clip.
2:27
So after we've looked at all of these images
2:30
and compared to previous and decided that
2:32
there's, you know, nothing else that has to be
2:35
done, we would RADS category benign findings.
2:41
And then, um, she would have
2:43
routine follow-up in one year.
2:46
Since she's four years out, we would suggest
2:49
a screening mammogram, but she may end up
2:52
with a diagnostic mammogram yearly, depending
2:54
on her preference and provider preference.
2:57
And then she would also have an annual MRI.
