Patients should be followed at 3-month intervals after initial treatment for 2 to 3 years and surveillance intervals may be increased to 6 months for the next 5 years. Surveillance includes cross-sectional imaging of chest, abdomen, and pelvis, the use of FDG-PET for lesions of an unclear nature, laboratory evaluation for steroid hormones and evaluation of side effects in case of adjuvant mitotane therapy.
