Lived for 20 years after breast cancer surgery?

You can live for 20 years after breast cancer surgery. At present, there are many treatments for breast cancer, including surgery, chemotherapy, endocrine therapy, targeted therapy and immunotherapy. There are many methods and the treatment effect is very good. For most breast cancer patients, the 5-year survival rate is very high. Of course, unless the tumor is very advanced and large, lung metastasis and bone metastasis have occurred, the survival rate may be very low. If the patient finds a tumor or lump in the breast and swollen lymph nodes under the armpit or clavicle, it is generally highly suspected that it is caused by breast cancer. For most patients, surgery can be performed, that is, modified radical mastectomy. Generally, it is necessary to remove the unilateral breast and thoroughly clean up the lymph nodes that may metastasize. According to the results of postoperative pathological staging and immunohistochemistry, the next treatment plan is decided, and it is necessary to go to the hospital for physical examination regularly.
