245P Impact of regular intensive imaging surveillance on survival after recurrence in patients with early breast cancer; a propensity score matching study

Abstract

Current major guidelines recommend only mammography as routine imaging surveillance for asymptomatic breast cancer survivors after curative treatment. However, as improving of the treatment for patients with metastatic disease, we assume that the detection of metastases in an asymptomatic status may improve the survival. Therefore, we investigated impact of intensive imaging surveillance on survival in breast cancer patients who developed distant metastasis as a first event.
