Usually: The large majority of breast cancers are cured nowadays with surgery, or less often radiation. Early detection is the key.

Yes, but: it depends upon the stage at diagnosis, which is why early detection is so important. Stage 1 cancers have an essentially 100% 5 yr survival rate, and stage 2 is greater than 90%.
