Follow-up after Breast Cancer (1999)

There is good evidence not to include blood work and diagnostic imaging as part of screening for distant disease. (grade E recommendation)
There is no evidence to suggest that mammography decrease mortality by detecting ipsilateral disease in the conservatively treated breast; however, there is indirect evidence that it may be beneficial. (grade C recommendation)
There is no direct evidence to suggest that physical examination or mammography, or both, should be used to determine contralateral breast cancer; however, there is indirect evidence that it may be beneficial. (grade C recommendation)
