Metastatic Breast Cancer Survival Rates
The survival rate of patients with cancer to give an idea of the extent of their cancer and the treatments available to them. We often hear the five-year survival rates for each stage of breast cancer, but what exactly is breast cancer survival rate?
The survival of breast cancer can be described in the following ways:
- Duration: 5 or 10 years, that a woman's life after diagnosis
- The risk of recurrence.
- The risk of death when compared with others with the same disease
A few points about the stages of the first breast cancer.
Stage 0: non-invasive species. Cancer cells remain within the walls where they were found.
Stage 1:, invasive tumors and about 2 cm long.
Stage IIA: cancer means the tumor is 2-5 cm.
Stage IIB: the tumor may be less than 2 cm but some of the axillary lymph nodes are affected.
Stage IIIA: tumor more than 5 cm or more has reached the lymph nodes.
Stage IIIB: Cancer is characterized by tumors invade the breast skin, regardless of size. Stage IV cancer is the most advanced form, in which cancer cells have moved away from the breast and other organs have been infected as well.
Stages are also described as early (Stages 0-IIA), then (Stage IIB and III) and advanced (Stage IV).
When diagnosed with breast cancer is the stage that will determine the treatment plan.
Survival rates
The researchers noted the percentage of women who survive for a certain period, say, 5 years after diagnosis of breast cancer. Current survival rates for all stages of breast cancer are:
5-Year survival rate - 86%
10-year survival rate - 76%
Women without breast cancer metastatic to have 5-year survival rate of 96%, while those with metastatic breast cancer have a 5-year survival rate of 21%
Here's a 5-year survival rate according to the phases:
- Stage 0 - 100%
- Phase I - 100%
- Stage IIA - 92%
- Phase IIB - 81%
- Stage IIIA - 67%
- Stage IIIB - 54%
- Phase IV - 20%
Remember that these are estimates only. Some actually live longer than 7 years, depending on treatment and lifestyle changes they make.

my fiance has metastatic breast cancer that has spread to her hips,knee, ribs, lower spine, and a few spots on her liver, also a tumor right around her collar bone, the docs say it can't be cured but they can get it under control, so far she has had 10 radiation sessions and on her 3rd of 12 chemo treatments using the drug taxol, which all of this has put her in severe pain most of the time, the docs say they are trying to control her pain but it seems like they are not listening to us about how much pain she is in, I see it 24/7 the pain is real and oh so horrible, and very hard to deal with for me to see the person I love more than life itself hurt so bad. my question to whom ever is are they just making the rest of her life worse? thanks for listening.
