Purpose
The early detection of the second ipsilateral or contralateral in-breast breast cancer recurrence is critical during follow up for women treated by conservative breast surgery (CBS).
It has been well established that routine screening by mammogram is the standard modality for screening women; including women with personal history of breast cancer (PHBC) [1].
In patients with CBS, higher rate of interval cancers are reported, thus the radiologist job is to be alert for the significant changes in the images in comparison to prior surveillance series despite the post-treatment alterations [2].
Identifying risk factors of the screened women with PHBC can be a prediction tool for their poor surveillance outcome [3] [4]. However the data on these risk factors and their combination with pathological and clinical implications is limited.
Therefore, The purpose of this study is to assess patient and tumor factors that might impact the outcome of screening mammography for women with history of conservative breast surgury.
