Breast Cancer Follow-Up and Surveillance After Primary Treatment: ASCO Guideline Update

The authors aimed to provide updated recommendations for breast cancer follow-up and surveillance after primary treatment, addressing the lack of robust evidence from randomized controlled trials. They conducted a systematic review and consensus process, ultimately recommending a risk-based approach to follow-up frequency and intensity, including regular examinations and mammography, while noting that certain high-risk patients may require closer monitoring. The guidelines will be revised as new evidence emerges to enhance individualized surveillance strategies.
