Mammographic Surveillance after Breast Reconstruction-is Imaging Necessary?

Mammographic Surveillance
There is no consensus in regards to surveillance of women after mastectomy and reconstruction for breast cancer.

Mammographic detection rates are low for surveillance after reconstruction and whilst there is insufficient evidence to support annual mammography in these women, there is widespread variation in its use.

We aimed to investigate the mode of detection of recurrent disease and comment on the use of surveillance mammography in our population of women undergoing mastectomy and reconstruction.
