UMMC Breast Cancer Database
• Since the breast unit began in 1993, all new cases of breast cancer presenting to the UMMC was recorded
• The current database has nearly 4 000 patients registered
• This valuable database is the source of most of the clinical research eg stage, age, race, pathological features
• With the IC number, survival data is available

Breast Cancer Survival in Malaysia
• Mortality statistics inaccurate• Only 40% of deaths are medically certified• Hospital data – UMMC database on breast cancer
1993-2002. Exclude DCIS and patients who absconded. Total of over 800 patients
• Patient’s IC checked with the Registry Dept (JPN) to see if they are alive or dead
• Study of survival in 2 cohorts – 1993-1997 and 1998-2002

Survival analysis
• The Cox regression model by stepwise selection showed stage, nodal status and grade of tumour to be independent prognostic factors, whereas ethnicity, age and ER status were not.
• Survival analysis ongoing – comparing survival in 5-year cohorts

Psycho-social research
• Qualitative study on why women with breast cancer come late. (MD research project ongoing)
• Husband Support during adjuvant chemotherapy after different modalities of breast cancer treatment (PhD completed 2008)

• Measuring Disability using ICF core sets in Breast Cancer Survivors. WHO Collaboration (Rehab Medicine Dept)
• Information Needs of Breast Cancer Patients on Chemotherapy from the patients and nurses perspective. (M Med Sc completed 2008)
Why do women present late?
• Small pilot study in UMMC on 25 women presenting with late disease
• 60% had tried alternative therapy as the first choice of treatment; the rest ignored the symptoms or prayed, hoping that it would go away
• One had spent over USD10 000 of alternative therapy
• Main reasons was fear of surgery and belief in traditional treatment, others were financial, family problems, did not know that cancer could spread….
• Most had been diagnosed early but did not agree to conventional treatment
Taib NA, Yip CH etal APJCP 2007
32 year old woman, diagnosed with early breast cancer, refused treatment, went for traditional medicine, returned after a year with locally advanced breast cancer
Traditional medicine
• Scars on the breast from traditional medicine
Traditional Medicine
• 33 yr old diagnosed with breast cancer when 36 weeks pregnant
• After delivery defaulted surgery
• Presented 5 months later with a large right breast mass
• Alternative therapy with joss sticks

• The clinical predictors, spectrum and frequency of BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations in an ethnically diverse high risk clinic population and to evaluate the performance of various risk prediction models (BRCAPRO, BOADICEA, MYriad statistical models) and the Manchester scoring system in predicting the likelihood of a mutation. Collaboration with CARIF.
• Association between Low Penetrance Gene(s) and Risk to Breast Cancer in Malaysian High-Risk Breast Cancer Patients. Collaboration with CARIF.

• Gene Analysis of Selected Oncogenes in Breast Cancers and Correlation with Patient Survival. Collaboration with Monash University.
• Role of immunohistochemistry in the diagnosis of proliferative breast lesions. Collaboration with Dept of Pathology
CARIF-UM Familial Breast Cancer Study
• Objectives of the CARIF-UM breast cancer study :
– To determine the prevalence of BRCA1 & 2 mutations
To determine risk assessment model in an Asian population
– To determine impact of genetic testing in this multi -ethnic population
• 282 breast cancer patients were screened

Lessons learnt from pilot study
• Risk assessment challenges• Organisational challenges• Counseling challenges / Issues raised
Translation of research project into clinical practice
• Genetic counseling under auspice of research serve as a basis for planning of a familial cancer service
• Pilot study revealed counseling issues which can expected in future clinics
Translating research into clinical practice –Other examples
• Self management research – translate into setting up a clinical service for patients
• Results from the qualitative study on why women present late will translate into overcoming barriers to early detection
Future research plans
• Genetics – applying for ERI grant for collaborative studies with Hong Kong and Singapore
• Collaborative research with University of West of England to compare breast cancer in Asians and Caucasians
• Clinical Epidemiology - research project with Indonesia to compare presentation of breast cancer in two neighbouring countries
The success of a breast unit depends on collaboration between all the members of the unit – surgeon,radiologist, pathologist, breast
care nurse, oncologist, basic scientist, biostatisticians etc
AND most important of all,
THE PATIENTS……
