A member asked:
What are the chances that my breast cancer can come back? ( i went into remission 5 years ago)?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Small: The chance of recurrence depends a lot on the risk factors of your particular case. It is possible to have a recurrence but most women won't after being disease free 5 yrs.

Possible but depends: Breast cancer can return after 5 years. There are a number of factors that influence this. The stage, type of cancer, hormone receptor and her-2 status, and treatments all help decide the chances.
