• No difference in long term survival or local
recurrence rate compared to mastectomy
• Highest achievable cure rate (up to 95%)
• Requires postoperative Radiotherapy

36. Adjuvant Chemotherapy
To Give or Not to Give?
•Adjuvant Chemotherapy or Hormonal
therapy reduces the risk of distant
metastases by approximately 30%.
•However 70-80% of patients receiving this
treatment would have possibly survived
without it! 36Breast Cancer Management Update 2016 Dr. Mohamad Al-Gailani FRCS
Riyadh, KSA
38. Radiotherapy (RT)
• Following Breast Conservation Surgery:
• RT 3 week course, 5 days a week
• Following Mastectomy:
• RT if large tumour (>4cm) or heavy axillary lymph
node involvement (>4 lymph nodes)
38Breast Cancer Management Update 2016 Dr. Mohamad Al-Gailani FRCS

39. Hormone Treatment
• 80% of breast cancers are hormone receptor positive
• They will benefit from 5 years of hormone treatment
• They have the extra benefit of protecting the
contralateral breast
• Available hormone treatments include:
Tamoxifen
Anastrozole
Letrozole
Exemestane 39Breast Cancer Management Update 2016 Dr. Mohamad Al-Gailani FRCS
Riyadh, KSA
40. Guidelines for Treatment of Breast Cancer
Adjuvant Hormone Treatment
Pre-Menopausal:
• Tamoxifen for five years.
Post-Menopausal:
• Good risk (NPI < 3.4): Tamoxifen for 5 years
• Intermediate risk patients (NPI 3.4-5.4):
Tamoxifen for 2-3 years followed by an AI to
complete 5 years treatment
• High risk patients (NPI > 5.4 or HER2+):
An AI from the outset for 5 years
*All patients with a recent history of thromboembolic disease or on long-term anticoagulation should
receive an AI in preference to tamoxifen.
40Breast Cancer Management Update 2016 Dr. Mohamad Al-Gailani FRCS
Riyadh, KSA
41. Guidelines for Treatment of Breast Cancer
Extended Adjuvant Hormone Treatment
(beyond 5 years)
• An AI (usually Letrozole) extended adjuvant treatment for 2
years
• In patients considered at continuing significant risk for relapse
(e.g. Node positive)
• Completed 5 year course of Tamoxifen
41Breast Cancer Management Update 2016 Dr. Mohamad Al-Gailani FRCS

42. HOW TO IMPROVE BREAST CANCER
SURVIVAL?
Breast screening (Currently 16% uptake).
Public Awareness & Breast Self Examination.
Lifestyle changes: Obesity, HRT, Smoking,
Breast Feeding.
High Risk Family History women:
Chemoprevention with Tamoxifen & Raloxifene.
Risk Reducing Mastectomy + Immediate
Reconstruction.Breast Cancer Management Update 2016 Dr. Mohamad Al-Gailani FRCS

43. Summary
• Breast cancer is common and increasing in
incidence in KSA.
• Women are more likely to present at an advanced
stage.
• Breast screening is available, but uptake remains
poor.
43Breast Cancer Management Update 2016 Dr. Mohamad Al-Gailani FRCS
Riyadh, KSA
44. Conclusion
• Every woman should be Breast Aware and come
forward for regular Screening Mammography
from the age of 40 every 2 years.
• Public Health awareness efforts should be
intensified and directed towards women and their
families. 44Breast Cancer Management Update 2016 Dr. Mohamad Al-Gailani FRCS
