Is it possible for breast cancer to never recur?

Is it possible to prevent breast cancer from recurring in a lifetime?

1. After breast cancer is cured, it may not recur for a lifetime, especially in the early stage of breast cancer. The earlier the pathological stage of cancer, the lower the recurrence rate. Breast cancer must be treated in time.

2. Breast cancer is mainly treated surgically. Patients who meet the surgical indications should receive surgical treatment as soon as possible. The main methods of breast cancer treatment are breast cancer resection, breast cancer improvement radical mastectomy, total mastectomy and axillary lymph node cleaning. The choice of surgical method needs to be determined based on the pathological classification of breast cancer, disease staging and the patient's own wishes.

3. The early symptoms of breast cancer are not obvious. They are mainly painless, single small lumps on the affected breast, hard to touch, poorly movable, and unclear boundaries with surrounding normal tissues. When cancer invades the suspensory ligaments of the breast, it will cause the skin on the surface of the breast to be sunken, which is called the dimple sign. Cancer invading the milk ducts will cause nipple depression. When cancer cells block the subcutaneous lymphatic vessels, it will cause lymphatic reflux obstruction, and then dermal edema will occur, and the breast skin will turn orange. A small number of patients have inflammatory breast cancer, with redness and swelling of the breast skin, increased temperature, pain to touch, and inflammatory symptoms. This type of breast cancer develops rapidly and has a very poor prognosis.
