A member asked:
For what length of time can a person survive breast cancer if there are no lymph nodes involved?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Multiple factors: When we discuss risk for spread after breast cancer surgery, we need to evaluate multiple factors including the size of the tumor, grade, hormone status (estrogen, Progesterone receptors and her-2) and possibly the clinical risk score (oncotype, mammoprint, etc).
