Five hundred and ten women attending a specialized breast clinic for follow-up after surgery of early breast cancer (Stage I and II) have been studied. Recurrence was found most often (58%) in symptomatic women who returned to the clinic earlier than planned. Only 3% of asymptomatic patients had recurrent disease. It is concluded that counselling in symptoms of recurrent breast cancer would allow more efficient follow-up.
对510名在早期乳腺癌(I期和II期)手术后到专科乳腺诊所进行随访的女性进行了研究。复发最常出现在(58%)那些比计划更早返回诊所的有症状女性中。只有3%的无症状患者有复发性疾病。得出的结论是,对复发性乳腺癌症状进行咨询将有助于更有效地进行随访。
