Senior surgeons of the Society of Surgical Oncology were surveyed concerning their followup practices for patients with colon and breast cancer and compared them with the recommendations in the current literature. Intensive followup is not indicated for patients with breast cancer patients and all surgeons agree by using physical examination and mammograms predominantly. Colon cancer followup was variable and the literature indicates a small survival advantage for intensive followup.
对外科肿瘤学会的资深外科医生就其对结肠癌和乳腺癌患者的随访做法进行了调查,并将这些做法与当前文献中的建议进行了比较。对于乳腺癌患者,不建议进行强化随访,所有外科医生都同意主要通过体格检查和乳房X光检查进行随访。结肠癌的随访情况各不相同,文献表明强化随访有微小的生存优势。
