Five-year survival rate for stage III breast cancer

The five-year survival rate of stage III breast cancer is 50%-60%, and it is necessary to conduct review on time. Stage III breast cancer has larger lesions and may have lymph node metastasis, and the treatment needs to apply surgery combined with chemotherapy and radiotherapy in order to achieve better therapeutic effect. For patients with larger lesions who cannot undergo surgical resection, neoadjuvant chemotherapy can be used to reduce the size of the lesions, and then undergo surgical resection, which can improve the rate of surgical resection and curative effect. Stage III breast cancer belongs to the middle and late stage of breast cancer, the prognosis is usually poorer, and the recurrence rate after surgery is also higher. Therefore, patients with stage III breast cancer should consult the doctor in time, and the doctor will make comprehensive considerations according to the pathological type, immunohistochemistry and other results, and adopt appropriate means of treatment, which will prolong the survival period of the patients. If you are suffering from stage III breast cancer, it is recommended that you go to a regular hospital in time to receive treatment to avoid further aggravation of your condition.
