Follow-up of patients with breast cancer is an issue of great importance in order to estimate the presence of residual tumor in the site of lumpectomy, estimate the presence of recurrence and also assess the outcome of neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been introduced...
An evaluation of post-lumpectomy recurrence rates: is follow-up every 6 months for 2 years needed? J Surg Oncol. 2013; 107: 597-601. doi:10.1002/jso.23298.David, McNaulMaxine, DarkeMegha, GargPaul, Dale. (2013) An evaluation of post-lumpectomy recurrence rates: Is follow-up every 6...
Of these 64 patients, 29 patients (25 African-Americans, 3 Hispanics, 1 Asian American) underwent lumpectomy within 6months after CNB. Pathology of the lumpectomy showed: five of the 25 (20%) benign papillary lesions on needle biopsy were upgraded to intraductal or invasive papillary carcinoma...

Throughout this population, 13% of clients had proteinuria, however just 6.7% went through follow-up albuminuria metrology screening within the next year. ACR was the most typical approach (86%). Probability of follow-up increased somewhat with the level of proteinuria found; nevertheless, outright...
After primary treatment, these patients are offered routine hospital follow-up. One of the main aims is to early detect loco-regional recur- rences and second primary tumours. Approximately 40% of the isolated locoregional recurrences are diag- nosed during routine visits and routine tests in ...
After 7 years' follow-up, 22 patients (6.6%) have had an isolated local recurrence and 24 (7.2%) a local recurrence associated with metastic disease. Cosmetic assessment shows that patients are more satisfied with the result than their treating consultants, and that 81% have scored themselves...
In general, follow-up is more frequent (2–4 times/year) during the first 2–3 years after treatment completion, and becomes less regular thereafter. All national and international guidelines agree on the need to obtain a detailed history and clinical examination at each scheduled visit. Mammogra...
