How long can a person survive breast cancer if there are no lymph nodes involved?
What if the tumor is 3cm big but no lymph node involvement? What are a womens chances of surviving? Although i know a woman still can relapse even though there are no lymph nodes, but what i would like to know is it rare for a woman to relapse with no node involvement?
B Sherman thanks so much for answering my question. Based on what i have said to you. Is there a possible chance that a person with that stage cancer likely cured?
Based on your description of tumor size and lymph node status, the patient has stage 2A breast cancer. This is a relatively early stage and presents a high probability of long term survival with appropriate treatment. The published 5 year survival rate for stage 2A is above 90%.
A 2A breast cancer patient will typically undergo surgical tumor removal, chemotherapy, radiation, and take follow-on medications to achieve their best possible outcome.
Her prognosis is relatively good, though some risk exists, thanks to the cancer’s detection before spread had occurred. Best wishes for a good future.
My Mother has stage 3 aggressive breast cancer that has spread to her lymn nodes. What is her survival rate.
