What are the breast cancer survival rates?!
Question: When doctors talk of survival rates, they are talking about five or ten year survival rates.
A recent research figure is 72% of women diagnosed with invasive breast cancer will live for at least 10 years after their diagnosis. Figures include all women who have had breast cancer and are still alive after that period, including those whose cancer has returned and those who are terminally ill.
Survival rates vary according to stage, grade etc. Around 90% of women diagnosed with stage I breast cancer survives beyond five years. This drops to around 10% diagnosed with stage 4

That depends on the cancer stages - 1 to 4.
Stages 1 to 2 are generally OK with good survival rate (90%) for next 5 yrs given porper medical treatments, while Stage 4 (cancer spreaded to another body organ) are generally "terminal" with about 10% survival rate.

Depends on several factors.
1. the stage of the cancer when it is discovered
2. the kind of breast cancer
3. the treatment and whether it is receptor positive
Cancer survival rates vary and some tumors are more aggresive than others.
Excellent if caught and treated early.
Not so good if ignored and let get to the untreatable stage.
