Evaluation of Appropriate Short-Term Mammographic Surveillance in Patients Who Undergo Breast-Conserving Surgery (BCS)

Although IBTR is rare in the first 2 years, various organizations have established protocols for postoperative mammographic surveillance. Currently there is no consensus on the optimal interval for imaging evaluation of patients following BCS.
