Does early stage breast cancer require chemotherapy?

Breast cancer has different clinical stages, which are mainly judged based on the size of the tumor tissue. Generally, tumors with a diameter of less than two centimeters are clinically classified as early. For those with a better degree of differentiation, chemotherapy is generally not required after surgical treatment, and follow-up examinations after surgery are sufficient. In addition to pathological examination, the tissue removed from breast cancer also needs to undergo immunohistochemistry and genetic testing. If the test results show hormone receptor-dependent breast cancer, endocrine therapy with medication is required after surgery. Chemotherapy is generally required in the early stages of breast cancer.
