38 yo very strong fh breast ca, brca neg, stage 2 idc, 18 mo. s/p bilat radical mastectomy. no chemo. what is best f/u imaging/testing? chemo?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Breast ca f/u: No follow-up imaging is indicated. History and physical is all that is required. imaging and blood test would be indicated if you were concerned for metastatic disease or a local recurrence. The additional of chemotherapy depends of pathologic stage including lymph node status, tumor biology and possibly the result of Oncotype testing.
