Abstract
Background: Conservative surgery is the standard treatment for breast cancer nowadays. However, there are cases in which mastectomy is imperative. Although surgery removes the mammary gland, there is a risk of developing local recurrence of 2–9.5% according to the literature. The residual tissue is usually between 5 and 15% and this is found in 21–76% of mastectomy cases. The objective of this study is to analyze the rate of local recurrence after mastectomy, as well as its risk factors and the method by which they are diagnosed to assess the follow-up protocol.
