Breast Cancer Nursing

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women and the second leading cause of cancer deaths. The risk of breast cancer increases with age. About 77% of women with breast cancer are older than age 50 at diagnosis. Persons at high risk include those who carry or develop certain genetic mutations and those with a family history of breast cancer.

Studying about breast cancer nursing will provide us with the principles of breast cancer nursing in order to improve our knowledge and skills for the provision and coordination of evidenced based breast cancer care. Some women, whether due to family history, genetic tendencies, and/or other factors, can be considered high risk for cancer development and should be screened with MRIs as early as age 30. Though this is said to be a small number of patients, guidelines also state that those women who do undergo MRI screening should do so in addition to a mammogram because an MRI could miss some cancers that a mammogram would detect even though they are more likely to detect cancer than a mammogram.

U.S. Food and Drug Administration also expanded the approved use of Lynparza to include the treatment of patients living with certain types of breast cancer that have spread and whose tumors have a specific inherited genetic mutation, making it the first drug in its class (poly ADP ribose polymerase inhibitor) approved to treat breast cancer.
