Objective: In recent years, several international studies have been published, that describe a relationship between country of origin and the occurrence of work-related injury. Since we regularly treat migrant workers in our hospital after work-related injury, we wanted to gain more insight into the characteristics of this group.
Design: Descriptive retrospective cohort study.
Purpose: Ductal-carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is a pre-invasive form of breast cancer with good prognosis. Follow-up guidelines in the Netherlands are currently the same as for invasive breast cancer. Due to fear of invasive breast cancer or recurrence, it is hypothesized that follow-up for DCIS after treatment is more intense in practice resulting in potentially unnecessary high costs.

In this study, we review the implementation of the TAD procedure in a large regional breast cancer center.
Methods: All TAD procedures between 2016 and 2022 were reviewed.
