[Follow-up recommendations for patients after curative treatment of invasive breast cancer].
Oncologic follow-up and surveillance after curative therapy for invasive breast cancer serves as a quality control of the primary treatment results, enables the early diagnosis and immediate treatment in case of recurrent disease, the detection and therapy of treatment-related side effects and late sequelae, and finally includes the psychologic support of tumor-free patients over decades, during which they are at risk for recurrent disease.
