Cure rate of breast cancer with axillary lymph node metastasis

Breast cancer can occur in both men and women, but the incidence rate in women is higher than that in men. Women's breasts will have many symptoms that are different from those of normal people, such as dimples, orange peel, and skin satellite nodules. It can also cause the nipples to retract and rise, and even cause discharge. So what is the cure rate for breast cancer with axillary lymph node metastasis?

The cure rate of breast cancer with axillary lymph node metastasis is not very high. It is already in the late stage, with only 20 to 30 percent. However, patients should also actively seek treatment and not give up hope for treatment. If they receive treatment, it can also increase the patient's survival time. Mentality is very important. Patients themselves must not give up confidence in treatment, and should not be too negative because the cure rate is not high.

Breast cancer with axillary lymph node metastasis can also be treated, but surgery and chemotherapy are no longer possible because the patient's body can no longer withstand the side effects of surgery and chemotherapy. Only endocrine therapy and traditional Chinese medicine treatment can be performed. Endocrine therapy requires patients to take tamoxifen, an anti-estrogen drug that can inhibit the growth of tumor cells.

Although the cure rate of breast cancer with axillary lymph node metastasis is low, patients cannot give up treatment. Doing so will accelerate the time of death and is not conducive to physical recovery. They should cooperate with the treatment to prolong their survival time. Some patients survive for four or five years in the late stage. It all depends on the patient's mentality and physical condition.
