Routine surveillance of patients diagnosed with breast cancer

As part of routine surveillance of patients diagnosed with breast cancer, the following is recommended according to the NCCN guidelines:

History and physical exam:1 to  4 times per year, as clinically appropriate, for 5 years, and then annually

Educate, monitor, and refer for lymphedema management

Mammography every year

In the absence of symptoms, there is no evidence to support laboratory or imaging studies for metastatic screening

Women on tamoxifen should have annual gynecologic screening

Women on aromatase inhibitor therapy should have monitoring of bone health and density at baseline and periodically thereafter

Assess and encourage adherence to adjuvant endocrine therapy

Evidence suggests that active lifestyle and achieving and maintaining an ideal body weight (20-25 BMI) may lead to optimal breast cancer outcomes
