ACR Appropriateness Criteria (R) Local-Regional Recurrence (LRR) and Salvage Surgery-Breast Cancer
ACR Appropriateness Criteria (R) Local-Regional Recurrence (LRR) and Salvage Surgery-Breast Cancer ONCOLOGY-NEW YORK Halyard, M. Y., Harris, E. E., Bailey, L., Freedman, G. M., Goyal, S., Horst, K. C., Moran, M. S., Park, C. C., Suh, W. W., Toppmeyer, D., Haffty, B. G. 2014; 28 (2): 157-?Abstract
Although both breast-conserving surgery and mastectomy generally provide excellent local-regional control of breast cancer, local-regional recurrence (LRR) does occur. Predictors for LRR include patient, tumor, and treatment-related factors. Salvage after LRR includes coordination of available modalities, including surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, and hormonal therapy, depending on the clinical scenario. Management recommendations for breast cancer LRR, including patient scenarios, are reviewed, and represent evidence-based data and expert opinion of the American College of Radiology Appropriateness Criteria Expert Panel on LRR.The American College of Radiology Appropriateness Criteria are evidence-based guidelines for specific clinical conditions that are reviewed every 2 years by a multidisciplinary expert panel.The guideline development and review include an extensive analysis of current medical literature from peer reviewed journals and the application of a well-established consensus methodology (modified Delphi) to rate the appropriateness of imaging and treatment procedures by the panel. In instances in which evidence is lacking or not definitive, expert opinion may be used to recommend imaging or treatment.
