What should you know about stage 3 breast cancer?
Stage III breast cancer is divided into two categories, which are the stage IIIA and the stage IIIB. In stage IIIA, the breast cancer will now be larger than 5 centimeters in diameter and will already have spread to the lymph nodes located under the arm. The survival rate for stage IIIA breast cancer is from 56% to 67% depending on how the patient responded with the treatments.
Stage IIIB breast cancer is when the cancer has spread to the other tissues near the breast. In this stage, the survival rate will be from 49% to 54% depending on how the patient responded to the treatments and medications. Always remember that the key to surviving breast cancer is through early detection. By going through breast cancer diagnoses at least once or twice a year, you will be able to detect the cancer early on if you have it and increase your chances in getting rid of it. |
