Management of local recurrence

Management of local recurrence

• The local recurrence should be biopsied as a change in receptor status may occur and influence further therapy . Whole-body MRI or PET-CT scan should be performed to detect metas - tasis. Systemic chemotherapy should be followed by surgical excision. Most surgeons perform a mastectomy for recurrence; how ever, second BCS and re-radiotherapy may be considered. -
