Abstract:
Primary aims are:
- To compare the effectiveness of standard verses other than standard primary tumor therapy in reducing risk of breast cancer recurrence.
- To determine the extent to which additional systemic adjuvant therapy modifies the effectiveness of standard and other than standard primary tumor therapy in reducing breast cancer recurrences.
- To describe patterns of surveillance testing for breast cancer recurrence and determine whether and to what extent surveillance testing is associated with the identification of asymptomatic breast cancer recurrence.
