How many years can you live after surgery for early breast cancer?

Breast cancer is a very scary disease. Once you have breast cancer, you need to actively treat it. Since breast cancer does not have any obvious symptoms in the early stages, most breast cancers are already in the middle or late stages when they are discovered, causing great harm to women. If breast cancer is discovered in the early stages and is actively treated with surgery, how many years can a woman live after surgery for early breast cancer?

With the development of science and technology, the detection rate of early breast cancer is higher, the treatment methods for breast cancer are more abundant and the treatment effects are better. In Europe and the United States, the five-year survival rate of early breast cancer has reached over 95%; in China, the five-year survival rate of early breast cancer can reach about 90%. Therefore, if breast cancer can be detected, diagnosed and treated early, it will basically not pose a threat to the patient's life. Patients are advised to go to a regular hospital for diagnosis and treatment by professional doctors.

Causes of breast cancer in women

1. Genetic causes

Generally speaking, if a woman's mother has breast cancer, the woman's chance of developing the disease is greater than that of an ordinary person, and the onset of the disease may also be earlier than that of people who are not second-generation cancer patients. If a woman has a close sister who has breast cancer, it has a similar impact on her, but it is smaller than the former. However, breast cancer is not directly inherited through cancer genes. Just because a mother or sister is sick does not mean that the woman will also get the disease.

2. Menarche and menopause

Early menarche and late menopause are common in breast cancer patients. Women who start menstruating before age 12 and those who reach menopause after age 55 are more likely to have the disease. If you have similar symptoms, ladies need to take more precautions.

3. Unmarried and infertile

Generally speaking, doctors and experts recommend that women complete the birth of their first child before the age of 30. On the one hand, women's physiological peak usually occurs before the age of 30 and then slowly declines. Breastfeeding is a natural process for women to become self-immune to breast cancer. Childbirth provides an opportunity for breast cells to repair themselves. Women who delay getting married or who never have children are naturally more likely to be infected with breast cancer than other women.

4. Unhealthy lifestyle

The lifestyle mentioned here includes eating habits, work and rest habits, dressing habits, exercise habits and so on. Some white-collar ladies sit in the office for a long time, exposed to computer radiation, do not exercise when they get home from get off work, and even have the habit of smoking and drinking. This lifestyle naturally cannot resist the invasion of breast cancer.

5. Excessive mental stress

With the progress of the times, ladies are actively realizing their own value in society, but what follows is endless pressure. If women cannot relieve stress in time, they are likely to suffer from constipation, insomnia, rough skin, sallow complexion and other problems. These symptoms may be related to endocrine disorders caused by excessive mental stress. In fact, the breast is also affected by endocrine disorders unconsciously. In addition, wearing a tight bra for a long time due to work also has a negative impact on the breasts.
