Endpoints
Primary endpoint: Patient-reported toxicity according to PRO-CTCAE after a median follow-up of five years after diagnosis of (subsequent) LRR disease.
Secondary endpoints:
Quality of Life (EORTC-C30 and –BR45). LRR-free, distant metastasis-free, breast-cancer event-free and overall survival at 2 and 5 years after diagnosis of LRR disease.
Referral patterns (per institute, professional, patient-related factors including performance status, and travel distance).
Eligibility Criteria

Treated with salvage mastectomy or treated with local excision for LRR after previous mastectomy
(Neo-)adjuvant systemic (NAST) treatment is allowed
Use of PET(FES/FDG)-CT for staging of nodal and disseminated disease
