Postoperative recurrence rate of breast cancer

Postoperative recurrence rate of breast cancer is related to pathological type, clinical stage and other factors, and the overall recurrence rate is about 20%. If breast cancer is staged early, after radical surgery and postoperative standardized treatment, the recurrence rate is relatively low, about 10%, and the 5-year survival rate of patients can reach 90%, and some patients can survive for a long time. Mid-stage breast cancer will have local metastasis, such as supraclavicular lymph node and axillary metastasis, and with adjuvant chemotherapy, radiotherapy and targeted therapy after surgery, the 5-year survival rate is about 70%, and the chance of recurrence is about 30%. If the breast cancer is in advanced stage, and distant metastasis, such as bone metastasis, liver metastasis, etc., and the best time for surgery is missed, the prognosis will be poorer. If you are suffering from breast cancer, it is recommended to consult a doctor in time, receive relevant treatments under the doctor’s professional guidance, undergo regular review, and actively prevent recurrence, so as to prolong the survival period.
