Can breast cancer patients live 20 years?

Breast cancer, uterine cancer and ovarian cancer are common gynecological cancers. The incidence of breast cancer increases every year, but the treatment rate is also increasing. Therefore, for women with breast cancer, after diagnosis, what they should do is to go to a reliable hospital for treatment immediately, especially for patients with longer instalment time, such as patients with breast cancer in the middle and late stages. If they do not receive treatment, the patient's life span will be greatly shortened. However, if they are treated in time, the patient's life span can be greatly extended. So how is breast cancer in the middle and late stages generally treated? How long can the patient live after treatment?

The treatment for late-stage breast cancer is generally surgery plus radiotherapy. When choosing a surgical method, patients can choose breast-preserving surgery or radical surgery. The actual surgical method requires the doctor to determine based on the patient's specific situation. Only in this way can the most effective surgical method be determined. In terms of radiotherapy, radiotherapy for patients with late-stage breast cancer generally requires 6-8 treatment courses. Medication can be imported or domestic, and the medicinal value and effects are similar. Patients can decide on medication based on family background and doctor's advice.

In terms of the patient's life span, if the patient does not receive treatment, the patient's life span will be greatly shortened, generally between 1-10. However, if the patient receives professional treatment in a regular hospital, the patient's life span can be extended to a certain extent. If the treatment is good, it can be extended by 10 years or even longer. Some patients can live for 20 years after recovery, and some patients live to the age of 50. Therefore, for patients with late-stage breast cancer, the best way to extend their life is timely and active treatment.

Although breast cancer is a terrible disease, it has a great chance of being cured if it is treated actively. Therefore, for women with breast cancer, they should seek treatment promptly after diagnosis, adjust their mental state, face breast cancer with a positive and optimistic attitude, and do a good job of daily medical care, which will be of great help to the patient's recovery.
