An
increasing number of women is surviving breast cancer and due to that at risk
of developing an isolated ipsilateral breast tumor recurrence (IBTR) or a
contralateral breast cancer (CBC). Patients' main concern is cancer recurrence.
Patient counseling on breast cancer recurrence is challenging. In order to
provide healthcare professionals and patients more guidance, a systematic
literature review of the incidence of isolated IBTR and CBC in women diagnosed
with early invasive breast cancer was performed.
