How can they check for breast cancer after a mastectomy?

See a breast surgeon: Mammogram, ultrasound and MRI may all be helpful. The important thing is to have a breast surgeon with experience following you, interpreting all test results and coordinating your care. Take care and best of luck.

Physical Exam: After a mastectomy, frequent exams of the affected side, mammograms on the opposite side. Yearly chest xray, and other tests depending on symptoms.
