Posted: Feb 12, 2010 |Comments: 0 | Views: 191 |

The stages inside Breast Cancer Stage 2 can be fully diverse! Hence, before we tell you the exact survival rate numbers, we have to go back and make clear how is breast cancer staged.

The stage is being assigned depending on how invasive (or not) it is, how many lymph nodes are taken by the cancer, has it reached to other parts of the body, and finally, the stage depends on the dimension of the tumor.

If the tumor is diagnosed as breast cancer stage 2, and it has not spread to the lymph nodes, and it's diameter is under 2 centimeters, the 5 year survival rate is 88%-92% according to the statistics of the (American) National Cancer Institute.

If the breast cancer tumor diameter is above 2 centimeters but below 5 centimeters it's a Stage 2A. If it has also spread to lymph nodes, the stage is 2B. The reported 5 year survival rate falls to 76%-81% for Stage 2B. Compare this to the 98%-100% survival rate of an early detected Stage 1, and you'll understand how early detection is important! Monthly self-cheks simply save women lives. Mammograms are obtainable even in very distant pieces of the Globe.

Does breast cancer survival rate vary across countries? Regrettably, all the women of the human race are at risk of getting the breast cancer. Yes, there are variations across countries and you can find many reports which exploit this subject. However, the bottom line is, these variations are not large. All the advice that is valid for one country is hundred percent valid for another one. Living habits, lifestyle and how often you visit the doctor (early discovery just helps a lot), do make a substantial difference in the survival rate. For instance, in some subcultures women drink more alcohol than in others. That's how you get the difference across countries, it's not because of the country itself or climate. It's strictly because of the living conditions and habits. The same explanation applies to the racial differences.

In US, it is reported that out of women diagnosed with Breast Cancer Stage 2: 29% are white and 39% are black.
