BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Some surgeons remain hesitant to perform immediate breast reconstruction (IBR) in patients with higher risk cancers due to concerns about cancer recurrence and/or detection. Our objective was to determine the rate of ipsilateral local-regional recurrence for stage II/III patients who underwent IBR. METHODS: The National Cancer Database special study mechanism was used to create a stratified sample of women diagnosed with stage II/III breast cancer from 1,217 facilities. Demographic, tumor, and recurrence data for women who underwent mastectomy with or without IBR were abstracted, including location of recurrence and method of detection. Estimates of 5-year local-regional recurrence rates were calculated and factors associated with recurrence were identified with multivariable Cox regression. RESULTS: 13% (692/5,318) of stage II/III patients underwent IBR after mastectomy. Patients undergoing IBR were younger (p
