| Popis: | The primary aim of surgery in breast cancer is to achieve local control of disease. Secondly, improving quality of life and patient satisfaction is of utmost importance. While the positive effect of postmastectomy reconstruction on the psychological well-being of women with breast cancer has been demonstrated, evidence-based data on its oncological safety remain sparse. There is concern that the presence of autologous tissue or an implant may mask locoregional recurrence. Furthermore, there is little agreement on the appropriateness of routine radiological surveillance of these patients as well as on the surgical treatment of locoregional recurrence. We attempt to review the impact of breast reconstruction on the incidence and detection of locoregional recurrence and discuss treatment options. |
