The outcome of routine follow-up of women treated for breast cancer by mastectomy has been analysed. Over 157 woman-years of follow-up, 315 routine visits were made by 33 women who had been subjected to mastectomy. At these routine clinics two asymptomatic recurrences were diagnosed. Both of these patients died within 2 years of relapse. At 26 routine clinic visits, a diagnosis other than recurrence of breast cancer was made. Routine follow-up of women treated for breast cancer by mastectomy has limited value.
对接受乳房切除术治疗的乳腺癌女性进行常规随访的结果进行了分析。在超过157人年的随访期间，33名接受乳房切除术的女性进行了315次常规就诊。在这些常规诊所中，诊断出两例无症状复发。这两名患者均在复发后2年内死亡。在26次常规诊所就诊中，做出了除乳腺癌复发以外的诊断。对接受乳房切除术治疗的乳腺癌女性进行常规随访的价值有限。
