The earlier it’s detected, the higher your chance of recovery.

Breast cancer doesn’t develop overnight — it progresses through several stages.
Understanding each stage helps emphasize the importance of early detection and timely treatment.

Stage 0 – Ductal Carcinoma In Situ (DCIS)
Abnormal cells remain confined within the milk ducts.
➡️ Survival rate: Over 98% – the “golden window” for effective treatment.

Stage I – Small tumor with minor skin or nipple changes
Tumor size less than 2cm, no lymph node involvement.
➡️ 5-year survival rate above 95%.

Stage II – Larger tumor or spread to axillary lymph nodes
Tumor 2–5cm with lymph node involvement, or over 5cm without spread.
➡️ With early treatment, the survival rate is around 91%.

Stage III – Locally advanced breast cancer
Tumor about 5cm, possibly spreading to nearby tissue or lymph nodes.
➡️ Still manageable — 75% survival rate with aggressive treatment.

Stage IV – Metastatic breast cancer
Cancer has spread to distant organs such as the lungs, liver, or bones.
➡️ Survival rate decreases to around 34%, focusing on prolonging life and improving quality of life.

💡 Key takeaway:
The earlier the detection, the better the chance of recovery.
Don’t wait for symptoms — protect yourself through regular screenings and health check-ups.
