“…Critics of this approach argue these studies were based upon older and less sensitive imaging tests (i.e. did not include FDG PET or PET-CT) and did not have the advantage of newer therapies such as aromatase inhibitors 68 .…”

Early detection of breast cancer recurrence is a key element of follow-up care and surveillance after completion of primary treatment. The goal is to improve survival by detecting and treating recurrent disease while potentially still curable assuming a more effective salvage surgery and treatment. In this review, we present the current guidelines for early detection of recurrent breast cancer in the adjuvant setting. Emphasis is placed on the multidisciplinary approach from surgery, medical oncology, and radiology with a discussion of the challenges faced within each setting.
