Can anyone with silicon breast get breast cancer?
Yes, individuals with silicone breast implants can still develop breast cancer. Silicone breast implants are not known to increase the risk of breast cancer, but they do not provide immunity against the disease either. Breast cancer can occur in the breast tissue surrounding the implant, just as it can occur in natural breast tissue. It's important for individuals with breast implants to continue practicing breast self-exams, undergo regular clinical breast examinations, and follow recommended breast cancer screening guidelines, including mammograms if applicable. Any changes in the breasts, such as new lumps, changes in breast size or shape, nipple discharge, or skin changes, should be promptly evaluated by a healthcare provider, regardless of whether silicone implants are present. Early detection and treatment of breast cancer offer the best chance for successful outcomes.

Do you have to have breasts to have breast cancer?
While breast cancer is most commonly associated with individuals who have breast tissue, it's important to note that breast cancer can also occur in individuals who do not have typical breast anatomy. This includes individuals assigned male at birth or those who have undergone mastectomies (surgical removal of the breast tissue) as part of gender-affirming procedures. Breast cancer can develop in the small amount of breast tissue that may remain after mastectomy or in other structures such as the chest wall or axilla (underarm area) where breast tissue may still be present. Additionally, individuals assigned male at birth have a small amount of breast tissue behind their nipples and areolas, which can also be affected by breast cancer. While breast cancer is less common in individuals without typical breast anatomy, it's still essential for everyone to be aware of the signs and symptoms of breast cancer and to seek medical attention if they notice any changes or abnormalities in their chest area. Regular self-exams and clinical breast exams by a healthcare provider can help detect breast cancer early, when it is most treatable, regardless of gender identity or breast anatomy.

What is the prognosis for stage 3 brain cancer?
The 5-year breast cancer survival rate for stage 2 breast cancer diagnosed in the U.S. varies according to size of the tumor and whether or not cancer has spread to the lymph nodes.If the breast cancer is under 2 centimeters in diameter and has spread to the lymph nodes under the arm (the axillary lymph nodes), it is stage IIA breast cancer and the survival rate is 88%-92% (American Cancer Society, National Cancer Institute).If the breast cancer is between 2-5 centimeters but has not spread, it is also called stage IIA.If the breast cancer is between 2-5 centimeters in diameter and has spread to the lymph nodes, it is called stage IIB breast cancer and the 5-year breast cancer survival rate is 76%-81%.If the breast cancer is larger than 5 centimeters but has not spread beyond the breast, it is also called stage IIBUp to 29% of diagnosed breast cancer is Stage 2 breast cancer for white women and 36% for black women. An average of 62% of all breast cancer is diagnosed when it is still localized to the breast area or Stage 1 breast cancer. If the cancer is detected early enough, such as Stage 1 breast cancer, then the 5-year breast cancer survival rate is as high as 98%-100%. Early detection is the most important way to save the lives of cancer patients.
