PREVIEW

Fear of recurrence is a constant, nagging companion for many of the more than 2 million American women who have survived breast cancer. Primary care physicians are in an ideal position to help many of these women, not only through regular examinations and reassurance, but also through comprehensive primary and secondary prevention strategies. In this article, Drs Ritter, Love, and Osman discuss cancer surveillance, delayed adjuvant therapy, sexual function, fertility, pregnancy, menopause, and lymphedema management in breast cancer survivors.
