Evaluating the De-Escalation of Surveillance for Patients Who Have Undergone Curative Treatment for Breast Cancer

NCT07572370 · Status: RECRUITING · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 560

Last updated 2026-05-07

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Patients who were diagnosed with breast cancer and have finished their treatment will be given the opportunity to be part of this study. These patients will have been attending surveillance at the Breast Centre in Beaumont Hospital, Ireland for 2 years prior. These patients, who are doing well after breast cancer treatment, will be given the opportunity to enrol in this study, potentially being discharged from in person surveillance after 2 years, while still attending for their annual mammogram. Investigators intend to find out if a simpler follow-up plan could work just as safely, while also improving the patients quality of life.

Deescalation of surveillance

Patients will attend hospital-based in-person specialist surveillance clinics according to the current practice post initial diagnosis for the first two years following curative resection and treatment of their primary breast cancer and then discharged from the service (i.e.: patients will receive six monthly specialist follow-up appointments for the first 24 months). Mammographic surveillance will be as described for the control group. Every patient will undergo an annual mammogram until the age of seventy years (or if aged 70 at the time of diagnosis, they will have an annual mammogram for five years in total). As per standard practice all results from these annual mammogram studies will be copied to the patients' general practitioner. If any abnormalities are detected on mammogram the patient will be contacted. All participants will complete the health-related quality of life questionnaire, EQ5D5L at the 24 (2 year), 36 (3 year), 48 (4 year) and 50 month (5 year) timepoint.
