Breast cancer affects one in eight women. Personalized risk assessment cannot only help save lives but will make management of this vital health issue easier and far more effective.
We teach you how to understand the risk to your life from your breast cancer. Ask your breast cancer specialists about the specific threat for your unique cancer situation..

FOLLOW US: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Breast-Cancer-School-for-Patients-958519147618444/. _ Questions for your Breast Cancer Specialists: 1. Am I going to die of breast cancer? 2. What is the percentage chance I could die in the next 5 years? 3. Do factors like “triple negative receptors” or “HER2-positive receptors” or “my youth” make my chance of dying higher than the average statistics? 4. Will I die of breast cancer? This is a difficult question to answer early in your cancer care but it is still worth asking. Many people just diagnosed with cancer have no idea how much of a risk to their life their unique situation poses. Most breast cancers carry a low risk of recurrence, especially early stage cancers. The answer is usually reassuring.. What is the chance I could die in the next 5 years? The average 5-year survival rate for all people with breast cancer is 89%. The 10-year rate is 83%; and the 15-year rate is 78%. If the cancer is located only in the breast (Stage I), the 5-year survival rate is 99%. More than 70% of breast cancers are diagnosed at an Early Stage.. All survival statistics are primarily based on the stage of breast cancer when diagnosed. Some of the other important factors are also listed below that affect survival.. Breast Cancer Stage is important: Non-invasive breast cancer. Stage 0 breast cancer can be also described as a “pre-cancer.” If you have DCIS (Ductal Carcinoma In-situ) you can be quite confident you will do well. DCIS does not spread to other organs. What can be concerning is when an invasive cancer grows back in the area of a prior lumpectomy for DCIS. This type of local recurrence does carry a risk to your life. Luckily, this does not happen frequently. Also, be aware that those who have had DCIS in the past are at a higher risk for developing an entirely new, invasive breast cancer. Take our video lesson on “Non-Invasive DCIS“ (here) to learn more.. Early Stage “Invasive breast cancer“. Stage I invasive breast cancer has an excellent survival rate. The chance of dying of Stage I breast cancer within five years of diagnosis is 1 to 5% if you pursue recommended treatments.. Stage II breast cancer is also considered an early stage breast cancer. There is a slightly increased risk to your life versus a Stage I breast cancer. Altogether, the risk of Stage II breast cancer threatening your life in the next 5 years is about 15%.. Later-Stage breast cancer (more advanced cancer). Stage III breast cancer has a higher risk to your life, with a 72% survival at 5 years. There are many individual and tumor specific factors that can change this survival rate.. Inflammatory breast cancer is a more worrisome Stage III breast cancer. Overall, the 5-year survival rate for inflammatory breast cancer is about 50%.. Stage IV breast cancer means that the cancer has spread beyond the breast to other organs or parts of the body. These metastases are not viewed in general to be curable. The treatment is aimed at helping people live longer with their cancer. This is the type of cancer carries up to 75 to 80% risk of dying within five years.. What tumor factors threaten my life more? There are important “tumor biology” factors not well reflected in survival statistics by breast cancer “stage.” Below we list a few important factors that carry a higher risk to life beyond just the stage of cancer.. “Triple Negative Receptor” breast cancer. Triple negative breast cancer is considered a more aggressive breast cancer. Invariably it does require chemotherapy. If you have a triple negative breast cancer the risk of dying is higher than the standard statistics usually quoted for a particular stage of breast cancer (Stage I – IV). Learn more about “Triple Negative Breast Cancer“ with our video lesson (here). “HER2-Positive” breast cancer. HER2-positive breast cancers are also more aggressive tumors. But the good news is that we now have incredibly effective, targeted chemotherapy and immunotherapy for HER2-positive cancers. Our video lesson covers “HER2-Positive Breast Cancer“ in more detail (here).. Untreated breast cancer. Untreated breast cancer obviously carries a higher risk of death than those who undergoing treatment. All survival statistics are based on breast cancer that underwent recommended treatment such as surgery, endocrine therapy, chemotherapy and radiation therapy. If you elect to not undergo standard treatment options, your chance of survival will be lower than the standard statistics for survival by stage.
A breast cancer risk assessment can determine your risk for developing breast cancer and help you identify when, how, and how often you should be screened. It takes. Overweight and obese women have a higher risk of being diagnosed with breast cancer compared to women who maintain a healthy weight, especially after menopause.
Being overweight also. If you’ve ever had cancer, your risk of getting breast cancer is higher. This is true if you’ve had non-invasive cancer (ductal carcinoma in situ, or DCIS), invasive cancer or certain other types of.
BRCA1 and BRCA2 are the best known genes linked to breast cancer risk. In the U.S., five to 10 percent of breast cancers are related to an inherited gene mutation. Do you know your risk for Breast Cancer? Are you normal or high risk?
August, 2017. Knowing this helps you understand how often you need to be screened. 01 How old are you?
2 How much estrogen have you been exposed to? Average Risk. When combined, these factors may also place a patient at a higher risk for breast cancer: Breast density; Family history; Body weight and weight gain; High bone densit. There is no sure way to prevent breast cancer.
But there are things you can do that might lower your risk. This can be especially helpful for women with certain risk factors for breast cance. If you have these or other risk factors, then this calculator’s results will underestimate your risk.
The first part of the calculator uses the Gail model and is an emulation of the NCI’s Breast Cancer Risk Assessment Tool, based on published risk. As you get older, your risk of breast cancer goes up. Most breast cancers are found in women age 55 and older.
Inheriting certain gene changes About 5% to 10% of breast cancer cases are. The majority of women with early-stage breast cancer have a Low Risk of cancer relapse based on genomic testing and may safely avoid chemotherapy. 1 So how do you know if chemotherapy will.
List of related literature:
Age-specific chances of developing breast cancer are another way of looking at risk.
Women with a personal history of breast cancer, a family history of breast cancer, a genetic mutation known to increase the risk of breast cancer (such as BRCA), and women who have had radiation therapy to the chest before the age of 30 are at a higher risk for breast cancer, not average risk.
Increased risk does not mean that a woman will definitely develop breast cancer, and the risk of developing breast cancer is not the same as risk of dying from breast cancer.
Women who are over 40 years of age when they bear their first child and individuals who have malignancies in other body sites also have an increased risk of development of breast cancer.
A woman at average risk does not have a personal history of breast cancer, a family history of breast cancer, or a genetic mutation known to increase risk of breast cancer (such as BRCA), and has not had chest radiation therapy before the age of 30.
In this case, patients may learn long before a cancer diagnosis that they are at 40–85% risk of developing breast cancer and 20–40% risk of developing ovarian cancer in their lifetime.

Risk Factors and Prevention Approximately 5% of breast cancers are due to heredity.
Knowing risk can not only be reassuring—particularly to a woman who believes herself to be at unusually high risk because her mother or another close relative had breaSt Cancer—but also help clinicians evaluate the pros and cons of various risk-reduction strategies.
None of the studies controlled for other risk factors for breast cancer, such as advancing age, early menarche, late menopause, older age at first birth, alcohol, diet, and family history of breast cancer.
