Post-Mastectomy Surveillance to Detect Recurrence in Breast Cancer Patients

Status unconfirmed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Breast Cancer

In brief

Currently, there is no standard recommendation for using imaging studies to check patients for breast cancer recurrence who have been treated with mastectomy. The investigator proposes performing in-office ultrasound examinations of these patients to determine if this would be helpful in identifying an expected 5-7% of patients with breast cancer recurrences following mastectomy.
