American Cancer Society/American Society of Clinical Oncology Breast Cancer Survivorship Care Guideline

Author/s: 
Carolyn D. Runowicz MD, Corinne R. Leach PhD, MS, MPH, N. Lynn Henry MD, PhD, Karen S. Henry MSN

The purpose of the American Cancer Society/American Society of Clinical Oncology Breast Cancer Survivorship Care Guideline is to provide recommendations to assist primary care and other clinicians in the care of female adult survivors of breast cancer. A systematic review of the literature was conducted using PubMed through April 2015. A multidisciplinary expert workgroup with expertise in primary care, gynecology, surgical oncology, medical oncology, radiation oncology, and nursing was formed and tasked with drafting the Breast Cancer Survivorship Care Guideline. A total of 1073 articles met inclusion criteria; and, after full text review, 237 were included as the evidence base. Patients should undergo regular surveillance for breast cancer recurrence, including evaluation with a cancer-related history and physical examination, and should be screened for new primary breast cancer. Data do not support performing routine laboratory tests or imaging tests in asymptomatic patients to evaluate for breast cancer recurrence. Primary care clinicians should counsel patients about the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle, monitor for post-treatment symptoms that can adversely affect quality of life, and monitor for adherence to endocrine therapy. Recommendations provided in this guideline are based on current evidence in the literature and expert consensus opinion. Most of the evidence is not sufficient to warrant a strong evidence-based recommendation. Recommendations on surveillance for breast cancer recurrence, screening for second primary cancers, assessment and management of physical and psychosocial long-term and late effects of breast cancer and its treatment, health promotion, and care coordination/practice implications are made.

What Should I Know About Stopping Routine Cancer Screening?

Author/s: 
Zhang, Grace, Incze, Michael

Cancer screening tests are not perfect. Test results may suggest cancer when there is none (false-positive screen). They can also miss cancer even if it is present (false-negative screen). False-positive results can lead to emotional stress and more testing without improving health. Screening tests may also lead to overdiagnosis. Overdiagnosis is when screening tests find slow-growing forms of cancer that would never have caused symptoms or affected health if left undetected.
