  • Title: Surveillance in the management of the cancer patient with special reference to breast and colon cancer.
    Author: Gardner B.
    Journal: Am J Surg; 1997 Feb; 173(2):141-4. PubMed ID: 9074382.
    Abstract:
    Senior surgeons of the Society of Surgical Oncology were surveyed concerning their followup practices for patients with colon and breast cancer and compared them with the recommendations in the current literature. Intensive followup is not indicated for patients with breast cancer patients and all surgeons agree by using physical examination and mammograms predominantly. Colon cancer followup was variable and the literature indicates a small survival advantage for intensive followup.
