Abstract EN
We present the longest reported case of breast cancer recurrence, 52 years after initial diagnosis, in a patient initially treated with Halsted mastectomy.
Observation and palpation of the chest wall resulted in late presentation, and this patient went on to demonstrate metastatic disease.
Current surveillance guidelines lack specific recommendations regarding monitoring of the ipsilateral chest wall.
In addition, the growing utilization of breast reconstruction poses an additional challenge to surveillance strategies of the ipsilateral breast.
However, the emergence of MRI may present a new opportunity to identify ipsilateral recurrence.
The changing landscape of breast cancer therapy warrants guidance from groups of national import such as ASCO, in the surveillance of breast cancer patients.
