Breast and Gynecology Cancers
Care Before the Procedure
- Diagnostic Workup:
Imaging: Mammography, ultrasound, MRI, PET/CT scans. - Biopsy: Core needle biopsy (breast), colposcopy (cervix), endometrial biopsy.
Staging: Surgical staging (e.g., for ovarian cancer) or clinical staging. - Genetic Testing: For hereditary syndromes (e.g., BRCA, Lynch).
- Preparative Care:
Fertility preservation (egg/embryo freezing) if desired. Nutritional support and prehabilitation (exercise, strength-building). Psychological counseling and support groups.
Care During the Procedure
Treatment Modalities:
- Surgery: Lumpectomy/mastectomy (breast); hysterectomy/oophorectomy (gynecologic). Minimally invasive techniques (e.g., laparoscopy) when possible.
- Supportive Care: Management of side effects (nausea, fatigue, neuropathy). Emotional and sexual health support.
Care After the Procedure
- Survivorship Care: Regular surveillance (imaging, blood tests like CA-125 for ovarian cancer). Management of long-term effects (e.g., lymphedema, early menopause).
- Lifestyle Modifications: Healthy weight maintenance, physical activity, balanced nutrition. Smoking cessation and alcohol moderation.
- Psychosocial Support: Counseling, support groups, sexual health resources.
- Risk Reduction: Prophylactic surgeries (e.g., mastectomy, oophorectomy) for high-risk carriers.
HPV vaccination to prevent cervical/vulvar cancers. - Recurrence Management:
Clinical trials, palliative care, and hospice support when needed.
- Diagnostic Workup:
Imaging: Mammography, ultrasound, MRI, PET/CT scans. - Biopsy: Core needle biopsy (breast), colposcopy (cervix), endometrial biopsy.
Staging: Surgical staging (e.g., for ovarian cancer) or clinical staging. - Genetic Testing: For hereditary syndromes (e.g., BRCA, Lynch).
- Preparative Care:
Fertility preservation (egg/embryo freezing) if desired. Nutritional support and prehabilitation (exercise, strength-building). Psychological counseling and support groups.
