[4] Most known breast cancer risk predictors do not apply for inflammatory breast cancer. It may be slightly negatively associated with cumulative breast-feeding duration. [16]
The American Cancer Society reports 5-year relative survival rates of over 70% for women with stage 0-III breast cancer with a 5-year relative survival rate close to 100% for women with stage 0 or stage I breast cancer. The 5-year relative survival rate drops to 22% for women with stage IV breast cancer. [3]
This is a list of countries by cancer frequency, as measured by the number of new cancer cases per 100,000 population among countries, based on the 2018 GLOBOCAN statistics and including all cancer types (some earlier statistics excluded non-melanoma skin cancer).
About 5% to 10% of female breast cancer patients have a BRCA mutation, according to the American Cancer Society. When breast cancer is diagnosed early, the five-year relative survival rate is over ...

The trial included 325 patients from across 28 countries.
[160]: 199–200 By 2010 the breast cancer survival rate in Europe was 91% at one years and 65% at five years. In the USA the five-year survival rate for localized breast cancer was 96.8%, while in cases of metastases it was only 20.6%. Because the prognosis for breast cancer was at this stage relatively favorable, compared to the prognosis for ...
A decade after initial treatment, the risk of breast cancer recurring in the same breast was reduced by more than 60% among the group who had received radiotherapy compared to those who did not.
