Abstract
With the establishment of effective screening policies and improvement of diagnostic and therapeutic methods, the number of patients who survive breast cancer is considerable. For those patients who survived the primary neoplasia, the follow-up will have to consider specific issues of the natural aging process, in addition to the particularities related to the cancer therapy received. Some aspects, such as the risk of late recurrence, the occurrence of a new primary tumor of the mammary site or not, and sequelae of short and long-term treatment are added to psychological, genetic, reproductive, and social issues.
