A member asked:
My self. i am 75 and have breast cancer. my oncologist doesnt feel i need to have chemo just radiation because of my age. what would prognosis be for stage 2?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Good prognosis: Stage-2 Breast Cancer generally has good prognosis with an expected survival of 70%-75%. But there are some subtypes of breast Cancer which need to be treated with Hormonal therapy if the tumor contained Estrogen receptors(ER). Ask you doctor about the tumor markers in your pathology report. These may be reported as ER, PR or HER-2. This report will be useful to advise you about further treatment.
