“…Several studies have shown surveillance results of US applied to women who were treated for breast cancer (34, 37, 39, 40, 41). The reported cancer detection rates were 1.7-5.1% per patient, and the positive predictive value (PPV) was 21.5-52.6%, with percentages varying according to the area involved.…”

“…The reported cancer detection rates were 1.7-5.1% per patient, and the positive predictive value (PPV) was 21.5-52.6%, with percentages varying according to the area involved. Because isolated recurrences are associated with distant metastasis and/or poor outcome, early detection and targeted treatment for recurrences are critical to improve patient outcome (41, 42, 43). Early detection of a locoregional recurrence of breast cancer after primary treatment by US can help guide patient management by sorting out those who may benefit by early therapeutic intervention or curative treatment of local disease.…”

Imaging Surveillance of Patients with Breast Cancer after Primary Treatment: Current Recommendations

2015

Women who have been treated for breast cancer are at risk for second breast cancers, such as ipsilateral recurrence or contralateral metachronous breast cancer. As the number of breast cancer survivors increases, interest in patient management and surveillance after treatment has also increased. However, post-treatment surveillance programs for patients with breast cancer have not been firmly established. In this review, we focus on the imaging modalities that have been used in post-treatment surveillance for patients with breast cancer, such as mammography, ultrasonography, magnetic resonance imaging, and positron emission tomography, the effectiveness of each modality for detecting recurrence, and how they can be applied to manage patients.

Objective: Major international guidelines have not standardized the sequence of diagnostic examinations during the follow-up of a patient with a diagnosed breast cancer. The aim of this study is to investigate the accuracy of sonography in the diagnosis of loco-regional lymphatic recurrences in comparison to the core needle biopsy results. Materials and Methods: Among 6455 patients who were followed up with clinical examination, mammography and ultrasound between January 2004 and November 2011, 125 (1.93%) patients had to be investigated with a core needle biopsy of a sonographically suspicious loco-regional lymph node. Results: Among the whole series, a total of 142 ultrasound-guided core needle biopsies were performed. Follow-up for the primary tumor lasted for a median time of 6.1 years (range 1 -27 years). Ultrasound of suspicious loco-regional lymph nodes showed a sensitivity of 89.5%, a specificity of 87.1% and a positive predictive value of 89.5%. Conclusions: In our experience, ultrasound of suspicious loco-regional lymph nodes showed good accuracy and it should be a part of the standard examinations performed during follow-up for breast cancer.
