Breast Cancer Aftercare at the Centre du Sein

Breast cancer treatment doesn’t end when surgery or therapy is complete. At the Centre du Sein, we prioritise your long-term health, recovery, and quality of life. Regular follow-up allows us to detect recurrences early, monitor recovery, and provide ongoing support, giving you confidence and peace of mind.

Medical Monitoring – Vigilance and Precision

Our follow-up protocol is tailored to your individual risk and treatment history:

  • Clinical breast exams at regular intervals

  • Imaging (mammography, ultrasound, MRI) based on personalised schedules
