Early breast cancer, let’s take a look,

V3.5

Early breast cancer, let’s take a look, From screening to treatment, here’s the hook. Mortality is dropping, that’s good to see, Let’s dive into details, come along with me. (Chorus) Screen and detect, early and bright, Together we fight, in this unified light. With knowledge and care, we’ll get it right, Breast cancer awareness, shining so bright. Most breast cancer cases, no family ties, Screening from age 50 to 75, wise. Every two years, a mammogram free, Improves survival, that’s the key. Barriers to screening, let’s break them down, Fear, embarrassment, let’s turn it around. Healthy women think they don’t need to know, But early detection is the way to go. (Chorus) Screen and detect, early and bright, Together we fight, in this unified light. With knowledge and care, we’ll get it right, Breast cancer awareness, shining so bright. Genetically high risk, MRI’s the call, BRCA genes, they cover it all. Breast, ovarian, and more in the mix, Testing and referrals, help us fix. Triple Test, the way to diagnose right, Patient history, imaging, biopsy in sight. Any positive result needs further check, Negative result, cancer’s likely wrecked. Multidisciplinary teams, best practice indeed, Surgeons, oncologists, for every need. Breast care nurses, part of the plan, Supporting patients, hand in hand. Pathology tells us where cancer began, Ductal or lobular, the common plan. ER, PR, HER2 status too, Guides the treatment that we’ll do. Staging with TNM, shows us the spread, From tumour to nodes, to where it’s led. Early detection, better outcomes we see, Treatments tailored accordingly. (Chorus) Screen and detect, early and bright, Together we fight, in this unified light. With knowledge and care, we’ll get it right, Breast cancer awareness, shining so bright. Surgery options, let’s discuss, Breast conserving or mastectomy’s fuss. Reconstruction, options are there, Immediate or delayed, with patient care. Neoadjuvant therapy, before the knife, Shrinks the tumour, improves life. Chemo, endocrine, targeted too, Depends on biology, what we pursue. Herceptin for HER2, targeted fight, With taxane, it’s a combined might. Neoadjuvant use, to shrink and test, Then surgery follows, for the rest. (Chorus) Screen and detect, early and bright, Together we fight, in this unified light. With knowledge and care, we’ll get it right, Breast cancer awareness, shining so bright. Chemotherapy combinations, tailored plan, AC, Taxol, platinum, we understand. Dose dense, weekly, schedules vary, To beat the cancer, we will tarry. Endocrine therapy, for ER, PR, Aromatase inhibitors, Tamoxifen’s star. Pre or postmenopausal, we adjust, Blocking hormones, it’s a must. Trials and studies, always in play, CHARIOT, NATALEE, leading the way. Innovations in treatment, always a quest, For early breast cancer, we give our best. Management tailored, patient’s say, General health, staging, guides the way. Encourage screening, take family history, Together we fight.
