title: [Contralateral breast outcome after breast reconstruction for carcinoma].
abstract: OBJECTIF: Since the treatment of breast cancer must be followed by a rigorous surveillance of the contralateral breast, especially in breast reconstruction context, we sought to determine contralateral breast cancer frequency after breast reconstruction during the ulterior surveillance.
  
  
  METHODS
  Retrospective cohort survey of 273 breast reconstructions led at Tours regional and university hospital. Cumulative incidence of sequential contralateral breast cancer has been evaluated.
  
  
  RESULTS
  For 6.6 follow-up, the prevalence was 1.8% and cumulated incidence at 4.6 ‰ person/years.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The probability of localization to contralateral breast after a primitive tumor of the breast is raised. The diagnosis of a sequential cancer must not be delayed by mammaplasty scars overhauls.
