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.
Patients And 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.
Discussion And Conclusion:
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.
