Abstract

Prospective Data Regarding the Optimal Frequency and ModalityProspective data regarding the optimal frequency and modality of follow up after definitive therapy for localized breast cancer is lacking, especially as it relates to time to recurrence detection. This article reviews the evidence and proposes a randomized trial to evaluate on-demand versus guideline-based survivorship care.
