2012年ASCO乳腺癌随访指南更新版

In 1997, the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) published an evidence-based clinical practice guidelineonbreast cancer follow-upandmanagement in asymptomatic patients after primary, curative therapy. ASCO guidelines are updated periodically by a subset of the original expert panel. The guideline was updated and published in 1999 and again in 2006. In March 2012, the Update Committee reviewed the results of a systematic review of the literature to determine whether theASCOguideline recommendations needed additional updating.日照市人民医院肿瘤科孟令新

This clinical practice guideline addresses three overarching clinical questions: (1) What guidance around follow-up and management should be available to women who have been previously treated for breast cancer? (2) What testing is recommended for the detection of breast cancer recurrence in the adjuvant setting after curative-intent primary therapy? (3) What is the optimal frequency of monitoring? Table 1 summarizes the guideline recommendations.

A Data Supplement, a patient guide, and other clinical tools and resources to help clinicians implement this guideline are available at http://www.asco.org/guidelines/breastfollowup.
