Case #5 -
A 48 year old woman with a L breast lump

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:
14.) How do we follow breast cancer patients after treatment?

After treatment, patients are followed for at least 20 years with regular physical examinations and mammography. The opposite breast is now at higher risk for a new primary. Metastatic workup is done only if symptoms occur.
