Follow-up for screen-detected ductal carcinoma in situ: Results of a survey of UK centres participating in the Sloane project

There is no consensus with regard to the duration and frequency of follow-up for screen-detected DCIS, the contribution of predictive and treatment factors, the use of mammography of the reconstructed breast or the perceived value of clinical follow-up. Published guidelines show no consensus. Multidisciplinary teams involved in the care of women with screen-detected non-invasive cancer should contribute to audits such as the Sloane Project in order to determine the most effective and efficient ways to treat and follow up these patients.
