Background Surveillance mammography is an integral component of survivorship care for women with a personal history of breast cancer to detect both local recurrences and new primary breast cancers. In contrast to screening guidelines for women

The number of older cancer survivors in the United States has increased exponentially over the past 50 years—and only continues to increase—with the greatest growth in individuals older than 65 years. 1 Although routine screening and surveillance
