Currently, cancer includes breast cancer is a predominant disease treated in palliative care services. Breast cancer incidence increased significantly during the last decade and can progress to a late or advanced stage. At this advanced stage, the incidence of the fungating wound occurs in 5-10% of breast cancer patients. The study aims to identify assessment and symptoms management of fungating breast cancer in the palliative care setting. This study applied a literature review method. Searching for articles using 4 journal databases including DOAJ, Google Scholar, Proquest, and Science Direct. 17 articles that met the inclusion criteria of the study. The literature review identifies that the assessment tools are holistic assessment methods, wound assessment charts, and time framework assessments. The major symptoms are mal-odor, pain, exudation, peri-wound maceration and bleeding, psychological and spiritual issues. The studies, which focus on assessment and symptoms management of fungating breast cancer was limited. This affects the comprehensiveness of the review study. Investigation on quality of life among fungating breast cancer patients shortly is needed.

Recently, cancer is a major health problem in the world. Lifestyle changes and growing urbanization likely led to increasing breast cancer incidence in such in Indonesia. Therefore, this study aimed to explore lifestyle breast cancer patients among Indonesian women. The investigation was a cross-sectional study distributed among 3,392 females drawn from 13 out of 27 provinces in Indonesia. Multiple binary logistic regressions were conducted to investigate breast cancer risk among Indonesian. A significance level of 0.05 was employed in all analysis. Of the 3,392 respondents included in the analysis, more than half (52.71%; n=1,788) was aged 40–49 years old. The most common marital status of the participants was married (98.20%; n=3,331), followed by no smoking (94.69%; n=3,212) and active exercise (62.12%; n=2,107). Education level was significantly associated with breast cancer (AdjOR_Junior high school=0.21; 95%CI=0.06 to 0.70; p<0.01 and AdjOR_senior high school=0.60; 95%CI=0.15 to 2.26; p<0.05). Education level was significantly related to breast cancer. Lifestyle such as smoking and physical activity was suspected to affect breast cancer indirectly.

20087 Background: Nijmegen breakage syndrome (NBS) caused by mutation [657del(5)] in exon 6 of NBS-1 is an autosomal recessive disorder with microcephaly, immunodeficiency, radiosensitivity, and predisposition to lymphoid malignancies. Recently, high frequency of NBS-1 mutation was found in some Slavic populations. Because NBS-1 heterozygotes may have high incidence of neoplastic changes, there is an urgent need to clarify the role of NBS-1 mutation in breast cancer carcinogenesis. Methods: We analyzed the NBS-1 status in 472 sporadic breast cancer patients treated in the Department of Oncology, Charles University Prague. DNA was extracted from peripheral blood monocytes. Subsequently two PCRs for each sample were carried out. Reaction was visualized using electrophoresis on agarose gel. Agarose gel wells with both the NBS-1 gene-specific band and internal control band were interpreted as positive. Wells with internal control only were interpreted as negative. PCR from samples giving neither an internal control band nor specific band were repeated. DNA samples obtained from a previously typed NBS family were used as a positive control. Results: Based on previously published data we expect to find at least 5 mutation carriers. Surprisingly, in our population of 472 subjects there was no mutation identified. Conclusions: Based on results of this study there is no relationship between NBS-1 mutation and breast cancer incidence. Acknowledgment: The study was supported in part by the RASO grant from Czech Society of Oncology, and MSM0021620808. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

81 Background: The revolutionary concept in breast cancer diagnosis and treatment has significantly changed many aspects of cancer treatment in favor of patients' rights. The best useful targeted treatment is offered to them with the least harm and invasion. As the most common cancer, breast cancer incidence is 24/100, 000 or one-fourth of all new cancers. The aim of this study is to compare the international rights for breast cancer patients with actual situation in Iran. Methods: All published data in Iran are reviewed since 2001 to 2012 to see the actual care in Iran. Codification of new radiology, surgical and pathologic procedure and insurance coverage are searched through available national references. These data are compared with international references. Results: Diagnosis is done by excisional/incisional biopsy or frozen section. Trucut biopsy is done in a low minority of cases. Insurance system does not cover vacuum assisted biopsy. Only mastectomy and axillary dissection are accepted by insurance. No codification exists for conservative surgery, oncoplastic surgery and sentinel node biopsy and the rate for these surgeries are low. Breast reconstruction, conservative surgery as bilateral mammoreduction, and symmetrization of controlateral breast are considered as cosmetic surgery with no coverage. The majority of cases are treated in general surgical wards. There are very few breast nurses and few centers for rehabilitation, lymphedema treatment, and psychological support of survivor. Conclusions: The ministry of health insists on full respection of the patient’s rights in medical practice. The new rights of breast cancer patients based on new treatment strategy are not highlighted in Iran. Valid evidence must be provided for policy makers about the rights of these vulnerable patients to consider them in Iranian health care delivery system. Specialized breast unit can improve significantly the quality of breast cancer care toward the patients' right. Pre-operative confirmation of cancer by trucut biopsy seems to be the key point. This gives the patient the opportunity to know more about the disease and to search for the best therapeutic plan according to international guideline.
