Stage 1 breast cancer is often curable, but the chance of cure depends on several factors such as the size of the tumor, whether the cancer has spread to lymph nodes, and the presence of hormone receptors or HER2 protein in the cancer cells.
If the cancer is small and has not spread to lymph nodes or other parts of the body, the chances of a cure are generally very good. Treatment typically involves surgery to remove the tumor, followed by radiation therapy or chemotherapy to kill any remaining cancer cells.
It’s important to note that even after successful treatment, there is still a small risk that the cancer could come back, so follow-up care and monitoring are crucial. Additionally, every case is unique, so it’s important to consult with a healthcare professional to determine the best course of treatment for an individual’s specific situation.
