“…Because the experimental groups' scores for knowledge and intention of breast cancer screening were statistically different, we conclude that group education improves participants' knowledge of the importance of routine breast cancer screening and motivates them to seek out screening services from health care providers. Although these results are consistent with those of similar previous studies (Burgess et al, 2008;Kim and Menon, 2009;Ceber et al, 2010;Gözüm et al, 2010;Secginli and Nahcivan, 2011). Group education can increase the knowledge and intention of breast cancer screening.…”

“…Mass media campaigns, internet resources, and health education have been used to promote public awareness of breast cancer and the importance of routine screening for many years in Taiwan, but the effectiveness of these measures has not been assessed. Many studies have shown that education has a positive impact on women's knowledge of breast cancer and increases their participation in prevention and screening (Burgess et al, 2008;Kim and Menon, 2009;Ceber et al, 2010;Gözüm et al, 2010;Secginli and Nahcivan, 2011). Han et al (2009) found that a 120-min classroom training program combined with follow-up counseling significantly increased mammography, clinical breast exam, and BSE rates.…”

Background and objective: Peer learning is an efficient educational technique for nursing students. It equips them up for their future roles as instructors, promotes their psychomotor skills, and establishes their self-esteem. The current study aims to determine the effect of application of peer learning strategy on obstetric and gynecological nursing students' clinical performance. Methods: Quasi-experimental design was utilized. The study was carried out in the obstetric and gynecology skills lab at the Faculty of Nursing, Damanhour University, Albehera Governorate. It comprised a purposive sample of 160 undergraduate nursing students, enrolled in the Obstetric and Gynecology Nursing Department (second semester of the third year in academic year 2014-2015). They were equally randomly assigned to either one of two groups, intervention group (80) and control group (80). Three tools were used: First, a personal and academic questionnaire sheet. Second, students' performance observational checklist. Third, student feedback and satisfaction questionnaire. Results: It was shown that there was a statistically significant difference in clinical performance scores concerning the five tested clinical obstetric and gynecological procedures among the intervention and control group, where the intervention group was more satisfied and have positive feedback than the control group. Conclusions: Peer learning strategy is an efficient strategy in the improvement of nursing students' performance than traditional learning. The study recommended that implementation of peer learning strategy in clinical setting to increase the level of students' knowledge and clinical performance.

“…(12,13) It was described that regular BSE is a simple and effective method in early diagnosis of breast cancer, (14,15) although the Brazilian National Cancer Institute did not stimulate breast self-examination as an isolated strategy. (26) Mammography is the most efficient method for screening breast cancer, whose sensitivity ranges from 85-90% and its specificity is approximately 95%.…”

“…Recognizing this type of tumor may manifest as palpable lesion, it is necessary to know and to apply methods that allow diagnosis early: self-breast examination, and clinical examination by a trained team.

Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) of the breast is a proliferative lesion, precursor of cancer, which has been increasingly diagnosed due to mammographic screening. Tumor size itself does not determine whether the lesion is in situ or invasive, so it is essential to emphasize that DCIS can present with variable extension. We report a case of a 44-year-old female patient that was diagnosed a great (12 cm) DCIS of the breast without microinvasion through pathologic examination. The patient presented with an increase of the right breast, acyclic mastalgia and right bloody nipple discharge. Mammography was inconclusive, the ultrasound suggested inflammation and the incisional biopsy revealed DCIS nuclear grade 3 with compromised lateral margins. It was performed simple mastectomy and axillary node sampling. The clinical presentations of benign and malignant diseases of the breast are variable. The most common symptoms reported by women are pain, palpable mass or nipple discharge. The literature reveals that the extent of this type of cancer is variable, being found in a review intraductal lesions up to 5.4 cm, size smaller than that one that was found in this patient. This finding makes the clinical apresentation interesting to be discussed. Although mammography is the most efficient method to diagnose this injury, clinical breast exam should be performed in all gynecological independent of patient age because it is useful for diagnosing early lesion, considering that it is a palpable lesion.Keywords: Breast cancer; Clinical presentation; Diagnosis. INTRODUCTIONBreast cancer is a common disease among women and in recent decades, has been noticing an increase in incidence and mortality associated with this neoplasm. (1,2,3) According to the Ministry of Health (2012), (1) even being considered as a good prognosis cancer when diagnosed and treated appropriately, mortality from breast cancer still present with high rates in Brazil, probably by the diagnosis in advanced stages (III or IV). The DCIS of the breast involves a heterogeneous group of neoplastic proliferation, non-invasive, with risk of recurrence and malignant transformation. (16) According to Boff and Wisintainer (2006), (17) the increase in the incidence of DCIS is due to mammographic imaging technology that is diagnosing non-palpable breast lesions. They claim that the diagnosis and treatment of non-invasive breast cancer will reduce the mortality rate in up to 46%. In patients adequately treated, the survival rate in 16 years is 95%. (18) DCIS does not invade the lymphatics and blood vessels, therefore, can not spread. It is composed of a population of malignant cells confined to the ducts by the basement membrane. It is therefore a clonal proliferation involving, in general, a single ductal system and the myoepithelial cells are preserved. (19,20) But, may be involved more than one duct or a single duct with more than one target area, separated by parenchyma without lesions. (21) This work aimed to report a case of DCIS of the breast in extensive...
