Abstract
Postoperative breast is very important to be evaluated and this importantace is mainly to detect recurrent lesions.
For treatment of breast cancer Equivalent survival rates have been demonstrated for breast conservation therapy and mastectomy.
Breast conservation therapy, means lumpectomy or segmental mastectomy followed by radiation therapy (Veronesi et al., 2005).
Breast cancer recurrence is shown to drop to a relatively low rate compared with the rate of new primary occurrence but it is still considered a big problem (Wesley, 2007).
Risk factors for local recurrence include premenopausal status, peritumour vascular invasion, and node status (Neri et al., 2007).
Recurrence most commonly occur in the same quadrant as the primary tumor (Vaughan et al., 2007).
Different radiological and imaging modalities can be used to diagnose this recurrence as mammography, ultrasound, MRM and scintimammography.
Mammography is performed after breast conservation therapy to confirm removal of the lesion, to identify postprocedural fluid collections, and to detect residual and recurrent cancer (Rajesh et al., 1999).
