Abstract |
Purpose |
To assess the incidence and presentation of ipsilateral cancer recurrences (ICR) after deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap reconstruction for breast cancer.
Patients and methods |
Data of 247 consecutive women with DIEP flap reconstruction after breast cancer in our institution between 1997 and 2009 were retrospectively reviewed.
Results |
Mean follow-up time was 4.1years±3.2 (SD) (median: 3years; range: 1month – 14years). Thirty-one patients (12.5%, 95%CI: =8.7–17.3) presented 34 relapses, in average 4.1years±2.6 after mastectomy: 14 (41%) were ipsilateral, 6 (18%) contralateral and 14 (41%) metastatic. ICRs occurred earlier (3.9 vs. 5.8years; P<0.05) than non-ICRs. Most ICRs (10/14, 71%) involved the periphery of the flap and presented as palpable nodules. The remaining (4/14, 29%) involved the axilla and 3/4 (75%) were palpable. Imaging procedures detected infra-clinical ICRs in 3 of 10 imaged patients (30%).
Conclusion |
ICRs after DIEP flap reconstruction are more frequent than contralateral recurrences suggesting the need for imaging follow-up of the reconstructed breast.
