Recent studies have demonstrated that the onset of local recurrence is an independent predictor for survival.
Mammography and ultrasound including elastography serve as the initial imaging modalities for postoperative follow-up, necessitating a comprehensive evaluation of the scar site. Comparison with prior imaging is crucial for detecting subtle changes indicative of recurrence. MRI serves as a problem-solving modality in cases where ultrasound and mammography yield inconclusive results. Early and accurate diagnosis enables timely intervention, optimizing patient outcomes.
