Résumé
Breast cancer incidence remains the highest among gynaecologic neoplasms. Once they have achieved their treatments, patients should undergo careful follow-up. It aims at detecting early local recurrence or controlateral breast cancer. Based on large cohorts, clinical and radiological follow-up procedures come from guidelines realised by scientific organisations. We evaluated our regional practices in Franche-Comte and compared them to current guidelines. Patients with early breast cancer positive for hormonal receptors filled a questionnaire concerning their follow-up. It included patients treated from 1999 to 2005. When frequency of consultation is evaluated, only half of the patients undergo what is recommended. Whereas mammography and non-validated complementary exams are more regularly realised. Patients consulting more one practician have a better compliance. Our study underlines significant disparities among patients follow-up. Better interactions between physicians and a greater implication of patients in their follow-up would increase its quality.
