Is Stage-3 breast cancer curable?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Stage 3 breast cancer is considered locally advanced breast cancer, meaning it has spread beyond the breast and nearby lymph nodes but has not yet metastasized to distant organs. The treatment and prognosis for stage 3 breast cancer can vary depending on several factors, including the specific characteristics of the cancer, the individual's overall health, and the treatments received.

While stage 3 breast cancer is typically more advanced and may be more challenging to treat than earlier stages, it is not necessarily incurable. Many individuals with stage 3 breast cancer can achieve remission or long-term control of the disease with appropriate treatment. Treatment options for stage 3 breast cancer often include a combination of:

Surgery: This may involve a mastectomy (removal of the breast) or lumpectomy (removal of the tumor and some surrounding tissue).

Chemotherapy: Chemotherapy is commonly used to shrink tumors before surgery (neoadjuvant chemotherapy) or after surgery to reduce the risk of recurrence (adjuvant chemotherapy).

Radiation therapy: Radiation therapy is often used after surgery to target any remaining cancer cells and reduce the risk of recurrence.

Hormone therapy: If the cancer is hormone receptor-positive, hormone therapy drugs may be used to block the effects of estrogen and reduce the risk of cancer recurrence.

Targeted therapy: Some types of stage 3 breast cancer, particularly those that overexpress HER2, may be treated with targeted therapies like trastuzumab (Herceptin).

Immunotherapy: In some cases, immunotherapy drugs may be considered as part of the treatment regimen.

Clinical Trials: Participation in clinical trials can provide access to new and promising treatments for stage 3 breast cancer.

The success of treatment for stage 3 breast cancer can vary from person to person. Some individuals may achieve complete remission, while others may experience long-term control of the disease. However, it's important to note that not all cases are curable, and the goal of treatment may shift to prolonging life and managing symptoms when a cure is not possible.

Early detection and prompt, comprehensive treatment are essential for the best possible outcomes. It's crucial for individuals diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer to work closely with a medical oncologist and healthcare team to develop a personalized treatment plan and to discuss their prognosis and treatment options in detail. Additionally, seeking emotional support and maintaining a healthy lifestyle can also be important aspects of coping with stage 3 breast cancer.

Why does blonde hair turn orange?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It shouldn't if your hair is only light brown unless you don't leave the lightener on long enough. If your hair tends to pull red or gold then you might get an gold or red tint but that is usually only if you don't leave the bleach on long enough to work. But don't leave it on too long or you will get damage and breakage.

How do you get a small bum fast?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It can be frustrating when trying to get a bigger bum. It can also seem difficult. Especially when you're not sure if it's possible. So, what I'm going to do is share with you some great tips on how to get a bigger bum. That way, you will know how you can make your booty bigger.

The tips on making your buttocks bigger are:

1. The first tip that will help you get a bigger bum is to workout three times a week. Some of the exercises that you should do includes doing lunges, leg press, and squats. You should do 4 sets of 8-10 repetitions for each exercise. Some other exercises that you can do that don't require weights are glute knee-ups and frog squats.

2. Another simple tip on how to get a bigger bum is to frequently eat small meals. This will help make your butt bigger and help you get a sexy tummy. Some of the foods that you should eat should contain protein and complex carbs. Also, you should eat fruits and veggies. Be sure you eat every couple of hours. This means you will be eating a small meal 5 to 7 times a day.

3. The third thing you can do to get a bigger bum is do cardio workouts. This includes taking a fitness class (aerobics, kickboxing, pilates), jogging or fast walking on a treadmill at the inclined position, and using the stair master. You don't have to do all these exercises. Just pick the ones you like. And make sure you do them at least two times a week.

What is mcg to mL?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If you mean micrograms when you write mcg, that is a mass measurement and ml (milliliters) is a volume measurement so strictly speaking, there is no conversion...

But

Many things have a density of about 1. A milliliter of water (density 1) has a mass of exactly one gram.

A microgram is one millionth of a gram.

micrograms / 1 000 000 = grams (ml of water etc)

What are the five benefits for waking up early?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There is a disadvantage only if you sleep late at night. Otherwise, it is perfectly good to start the day early as you have more time at hand to do what you want.

Early morning hours are usually quiet & peaceful. The best time to meditate, chant or do some yoga practice to kick start your day confidently.

On the other hand, when you wake up late you find yourself doing everything in a hurry. Rushing, rushing, rushing & feeling high strung & tensed.

So as long as you have had a good nights sleep, there is no need to worry about waking up early.

What is an abnormally high body temperature?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Well the average human's normal body temperature is 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit. Each person can be a bit different, though. Usually when people get sick and run a fever, their body temp can range from 96-103. Anything above or below that is pretty serious like the flu, hypothermia or heatstroke and should be seen by a doctor.

What is the best anti-aging cream?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

  • Oil of Olay. I am 50 years old and people think I still look like I'm in my 30s. And you only need to use a drop the size of a pea. I started using it while I was in my mid-20s.
  • I like NightSkin - it's much more reasonably priced than brand named anti-aging creams and it works just as effectively. It contains retinyl propiate and L-ascorbic acid-these are forms of Vitamins A and C which have been clinically tested for their effectiveness in helping to reduce fine lines, crow's feet, aging spots, and to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin-skin proteins that form the basic skin structure. After usingyou're your skkin looks firmer and younger! Other ingredients like glycolic acid cream and licorice extract help to lighten the skin, exfoliate and moisturize it. It's an overnight cream and in the morning your skin looks radiant.
  • After I tried all big companie's creams and serums, I found " De Clars" 6 mons ago. My eyes looks like 10 years before and this was my biggest discovery in the cosmetic industry. Their outher Anti Aging Products are excellent

You can, but only for short periods of time. No more than a few days. Most doctors will recommend against it, because it can cause a silver/ bluish tattooing on the affected area. If possible use vaseline instead.

Can shingles virus enter the brain?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, unfortunately you can get it in your ear canal. Shingles[Herpes Zoster] wil cause blisters along nerve pathways, and I believe your tri-geminal nerve pathway is close to the ear, and also your eye. Don't be afraid to demand adequate pain medication. If you are over 60 and not currently infected, there is a vaccine called Zostavax which is supposed to reduce the risk of future out breaks. I have had Shingles and know how excruciatingly painful it can be. The vaccine makes me hopeful for newer better treatments. I had my Zostavax shot two weeks ago with no adverse effects so far. Good luck to you.

What causes a diabetic coma?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Our Son had 2 Diabetic Comas, two years apart. The complications from the first on was, loss of memory, loss of coordination, loss of life and job skills, difficulty finding the right words when talking, difficulty with understanding consequences. Over time he was able to relearn a lot of these skills and to take care of his personal and medical needs, hold down a job, live on his own, be responsible but what deemed disabled.

The complications from the second were much more severe. He can not talk or form intelligible words, he can not follow directions at all, he cannot take care of any of his personal or medical needs, he cannot walk, get up, or crawl on his own, he is severely disabled and brain damaged.

He had the incident almost 2 years ago and we see some improvements but not enough for him to talk or take care of himself, he still needs 24 hour care to live and we are in HOPE that someone some where has any information that would make a difference so that he can have a life.
