They are less helpful in estimating survival for individuals because the stages are defined very broadly. The cancer cells have spread beyond the breast, but this spread is limited to nearby lymph nodes. Adapted from SEER data, [ ]. Learn more about the SEER program. Say, the mortality rate in the group of people is 5 percent.
Similarly, the number of people in a group who survive depends on the number of people who die. Say, people are in the group and 1 person dies. This numbers helps show the burden of breast cancer in a group of people. Numbers, however, can be hard to compare to each other. To compare mortality or survival in different populations, we need to look at mortality rates rather than the number of breast cancer deaths.
Say, town A has a population of , and town B has a population of 1, Over a year, say there are breast cancer deaths in town A and breast cancer deaths in town B. The number of breast cancer deaths in each town is the same. However, many more people live in town A than live in town B. This may be especially true for younger women.

The Breast Cancer Healthline app provides people with access to an online breast cancer community, where users can connect with others and gain advice and support through group discussions.

It can be difficult to take in and make sense of information about your prognosis. Having a good prognosis may reassure you, although you may still worry. If your prognosis is less good, you may feel anxious about the future. No tests can tell you with complete certainty what will happen to you.
