How many people who are being treated for breast cancer do not make it?
Breast cancer has a very high survival rate nowadays. Only 4 out of 100 do not live for at least 5 years after treatment, if the cancer has not spread beyond the breast when treatment begins.
What are the stages of breast cancer and what do they mean?
Breast cancer stages range from 0 to IV, with substages for some ranges, and are determined by the size and spread of the tumor beyond the breast. Stage II breast cancer has tumors which are 2 to 5 cm in size and have spread, if at all, only to the nearby armpit lymph nodes. Stage 0 cancers are not invading normal tissue or spreading to the lymph nodes. Stage I - III cancers increase in size and spread. Stage IV cancers have invaded other organs of the body.
