Question 1

what is the rate of survival for stage 3 invasive ductal carcinoma?

Accepted Answer

More than 50%: This is a hard question.  Invasive ductal carcinoma is the most common type of breast cancer. It depends on whether it's stage3a, b or c, and the time of survival. At 5 years after diagnosis, 50-60%  of women with stage 3 breast cancer are alive.  Other factors are age, receptor status of the tumor, number of lymph nodes involved, and treatment. Remember that survival is improving all the time!

Question 2

what is the survival of invasive ductal carcinoma stage 2?

Accepted Answer

High: Published 5-yr survival rates are 81% for iia and 84% for iib breast ca.  Keep in mind this includes mortality from other causes and reflects patients treated almost a decade ago.  For more info...http://www.cancer.org/cancer/breastcancer/detailedguide/breast-cancer-survival-by-stage.

Question 3

for oncologists, i am a pharmacist i want to know invasive ductal carcinoma in which stage of breast cancer ?

Accepted Answer

1 or more: Once the tumor has turned invasive, there is a possibility that it will cause death, so that it needs a stage of at least one. Some of the preinvasive lesions get a zero. Only when it's been determined how far the cancer has gotten can we narrow in on the exact stage. The oncologists will tell you the same.

Question 4

my wife was just diagnosed with invasive ductal carcinoma stage 2 breast cancer. what can you tell me about this kind of cancer?

Accepted Answer

Palpable lesion: Stage II breast cancer indicates a slightly more advanced form of breast cancer.  The cancer cells have spread beyond the original location and into the surrounding breast tissue, and the tumor is larger than in stage I disease. However, stage II means the cancer has not spread to a distant part of the body. At resection the lymph nodes were neg and treatment standard depending on hormone status.

Question 5

i have stage 1, grade 2 invasive ductal carcinoma. how long do i have before this goes to stage 2?

Accepted Answer

Doesnt work that way: It is common, but not right, to think of cancer stages (1, 2, 3, 4) as a progression 1-&gt;2-&gt;3-&gt;4. However, the more we learn about cancer the more we learn that some cancers may begin as stage III or IV - they can spread from the very beginning.

In your case, stage 1 breast cancer, if completely removed, may never come back. There is no set time period in which we expect it to become stage 2.

Question 6

how dangerous is high grade invasive ductal carcinoma?

Accepted Answer

An invasive: Cancer is dangerous, meaning it can lead to death even if all the right things are done. So, i'd need more deatils to help put in perspective the danger and risk: age, size, nodes +/-, er, pr, her-2-neu status. Focus on positive after realizing the danger.

Question 7

how fast could invasive ductal carcinoma metastasis?

Accepted Answer

Highly Variable: The risk of breast cancer growing outside of the breast is most dependent on the aggressiveness of the cancer and the stage at diagnosis; it is less related to the type of breast cancer (ductal, lobular, etc).  While metastatic disease may be present at the time of diagnosis, a majority of breast cancer patients never develop metastases.

Question 8

what are some treatments for "invasive ductal carcinoma"?

Accepted Answer

Depends: The treatment options include: surgery, radiation, chemo and hormonal therapy.  To determine what will be prescribed for you, the tumor size, lymph node involevment and spread to other organs is important information to know.  Make sure you ask questions and explore all options.  Sometimes a 2nd opinion can be helpful.

Question 9

what is invasive ductal carcinoma?

Accepted Answer

Breast cancer: This is the common locally advanced form of breast cancer that must be treated immediately to maximize your survival chances.

Question 10

how fast does invasive ductal carcinoma spread?

Accepted Answer

It depends: Breast cancer invasive ductal carcinoma (idc) "spread" rate depends on multiple factors including: cancer size, location, biologic characteristics, when found, therapy.
