What are the chances of survival for a woman with stage three c breast cancer?

See below: By statistical alone, realizing each person responds to treatments differently, the national cancer data base describes a nearly 50% survival over 5 years. But, each individual person is different.

Around 50% at 5 year: Stage iiic reflects patients who have aggressive lymph node disease. They cannot realistically be cured with surgery alone. Nevertheless, about 50% of women diagnosed in 2002 survived 5 years according to national cancer database statistics. Prognosis may be even better today as treatment of each patient is more specifically targeted on the basis of the biology of these aggressive tumors.
