Mrs. Holloway, age 55, is also visiting her physician for routine screening. She is concerned because her sister, who is age 47 was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. What types of
cancer are most commonly diagnosed in patients like Mrs. Holloway, based on her age and
gender? Should she be concerned about developing breast cancer? If she has never performed
breast self exams, what would you tell her about this screening procedure? How could you help
her understand the correct procedure for completing a breast self-exam?
