Q. Can breast cancer be cured fully?

Doctor Answer is medically reviewed by SecondMedic medical review team.

Answered by Secondmedic Expert

There is no cure for breast cancer that works 100% of the time. However, many cases of breast cancer can be cured with treatment. The 5-year survival rate for breast cancer when it is caught early is about 98%. This means that if you have been diagnosed with breast cancer and receive treatment, approximately 98% of women will be alive 5 years after diagnosis. Breast cancer can be cured fully, but it depends on the type and stage of the cancer. Some breast cancers are more treatable than others. Treatment options vary depending on the individual but may include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, and targeted therapy. There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question as each person's situation is unique. However, with early detection and appropriate treatment, many people do recover from breast cancer.
