Primary breast cancer: ESMO clinical practice guidelines for diagnosis, treatment and follow up

The ESMO guidance recommends a follow up regime for the first 5y post operatively that may be seen as too frequent for the UK though they do acknowledge that there is little concrete evidence base for their recommendations. Distinct from NICE and ABS guidance, the guidance recommends margins of 2mm or more for DCIS whilst accepting no ink on tumour margin for invasive cancer.
