Missing Pieces: There are just too many other variables that have to be weighed-in before answering this question such as the tumor type, size, grade, ki-67, estrogen-, progesterone-, her2/neu receptor status, oncotype-dx (in the appropriate setting), pt's age, health, etc. Please remember that survival statistics often reflect how people were treated a decade ago when we had fewer options for rx than today.
