The stages inside Breast Cancer Stage Two can be rather different! So, before we tell you the exact survival rate stat records, we need to go back and describe a bit 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 spread to other parts of the body, and finally, the stage depends on the size of the tumor. If the cancer 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 human lives. Mammograms are on hand even in very distant pieces of the Globe. Does breast cancer survival rate vary across countries? Sorry to say, all the women on Earth are at risk of getting the breast cancer. Yes, there are differences across countries and you can find many reports which exploit this subject. However, the bottom line is, these differences are not substantial. All the advice that is valid for one country is hundred percent valid for another one. Way of life, 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 why stats show 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 Caucasian and 39% are black.
