Post-Mastectomy Surveillance to Detect Locally Recurrent Breast Cancer
Currently, there is no standard recommendation for using imaging studies to check patients
for breast cancer recurrence who have been treated with mastectomy. The investigator proposes
performing in-office ultrasound examinations of these patients to determine if this would be
helpful in identifying an expected 5-7% of patients with breast cancer recurrences following
mastectomy.
for breast cancer recurrence who have been treated with mastectomy. The investigator proposes
performing in-office ultrasound examinations of these patients to determine if this would be
helpful in identifying an expected 5-7% of patients with breast cancer recurrences following
mastectomy.
The investigator hypothesizes that surgeon-directed ultrasound is a feasible, accurate, and
cost-effective strategy for local recurrence surveillance in breast cancer patients after
mastectomy. Toward examining these hypotheses, the investigators propose the following
Specific Aims:
Aim I: To determine the number of breast cancer recurrences following mastectomy detected by
surgeon-performed ultrasound.
Aim II: To determine the sensitivity and specificity of surgeon-performed ultrasound for the
detection of post-mastectomy breast cancer recurrence.
Aim III: To estimate the cost of performing surgeon-directed ultrasound for the detection of
post-mastectomy breast cancer recurrence from the perspective of a third party payer relative
to standard surveillance alone.
