Malignant breast cancer survival rate

How many years a patient can live at most in the late stage of breast cancer is a question that many patients' families are concerned about. Because the cure rate of early-stage breast cancer is very high, and successful surgery and chemotherapy can usually extend life by more than ten years. However, the outlook for late-stage breast cancer is relatively pessimistic. So how long can a patient live? Please see the detailed answer.

How many years can you live with advanced breast cancer?

Diseases like breast cancer can only be completely cured if they are detected early, surgery is performed early, and chemotherapy is performed early. Once breast cancer is diagnosed in the late stages, the survival time will be very short.

Generally speaking, breast cancer in the late stage is very easy to spread. Once it spreads, the patient can basically only survive for half a year. If it has not spread yet, the patient can survive for at most 3-5 years, and this is the early stage of late stage breast cancer.

Since breast cancer is a disease that requires surgery to be cured, it cannot be cured without surgery. Doctors do not recommend surgery for many patients with advanced breast cancer, because surgery is not of much value at this stage. Patients are generally asked to undergo radiotherapy, chemotherapy and Chinese medicine differentiation treatment, which is actually equivalent to sentencing the patient to a short life.

The survival time of late-stage breast cancer is not as long as that of early- and mid-stage surgical treatments, but patients should not be discouraged. Instead, they should actively undergo treatment and maintain a good attitude, which will also help prolong their lives.
