What are the survival rates of secondary cancer (lymph nodes)?

Question

Hi,
someone I know had breast cancer 2 years ago and has now found out that she has it back in her lymph nodes.Is this really bad ..what are her chances of a full recovery..
she has been feeling ill for sometime.

Answer 1

This is a difficult question for me to answer, because I don't have enough diagnostic detail to properly stage your friend's breast cancer. There are different stages, and different survival rates based on the stages.



I can tell you that once the cancer is found in the lymph nodes, it has metastasized (or spread). Cancer being found in the lymph nodes means that it is much more likely that it is present in other organs of the body, as the lymph system circulates throughout the body.



If your friend is a Stage IIb (smaller tumor size, and only axillary lymph node involvement), she may have a five-year survival rate of 66%. If she is a Stage III (involves a spread of the cancer to either axillary lymph nodes that are attached to each other or to other structures, or to lymph nodes beneath the collarbone and near the neck), she will likely have a five-year survival rate of 36%.



Hope this was helpful.

Secondary Cancer Survival Rates

Answer 4

My brother in law has lung cancer and in lymph glands he was told he only had 6 to 9 months. Had a course of chemo (4 lots) and it has shrunk. So now they are trying to cure him. Can this be so as I thought the lymph glands spread stuff round the whole body. They are going to start radiotherophy for 4 weeks 5 days a week. My sister is now on a high and I am worried in case this all goes wrong. It will now hit her twice as bad if things go wrong.

Answer 5

Elements of the first response are incorrect, so let me address those inaccuracies first.



Metastasis is the spread of cancer to a distant site from its primary site. Spread to nearby lymph nodes is localized (stage 2) or regional (stage 3), but not metastasized (stage 4).



The other mistake involves the survival rates quoted. Actual 5 year DFS (disease free survival) rates in the United States are significantly higher and are critically determined by thoroughness of treatment, HER2 status, and (if HER2 positive) access to Herceptin therapy.



The following 5 year DFS survival rates are from the American College of Surgeons National Cancer Data Base



Stage 0: 100%



Stage I:100%



Stage IIA: 92%



Stage IIB:81%



Stage IIIA:67%



Stage IIIB:54%



Stage IV:20%



I hope this has been helpful.

Stats were on page two... Five-year relative survival rates for liver cancer by race and sex were: 7.4 percent for white men 10.6 percent for white women 5.5 percent for black men 4.6 percent for black women. Liver Cancer Survival Rates Based on Stage The stage of liver cancer plays a role in the liver cancer survival rate as well. Based on historical data: 31 percent of liver cancer cases are diagnosed while the cancer is still confined to the primary site (localized stage) 26 percent are diagnosed after the cancer has spread to regional lymph nodes or directly beyond the primary site 22 percent are diagnosed after the cancer has already metastasized (distant stage) In 22 percent of cases, the staging information was unknown. The corresponding five-year relative liver cancer survival rates were: 19.0 percent for localized 6.6 percent for regional 3.4 percent for distant 3.3 percent for unstaged. ***From personal experience though, and I'm going to be completely honest because I would want someone to be honest to me... My dad had colon cancer that spread to his liver. Once it was in his liver it was a death sentence. If the cancer originates in the liver a transplant is possible, but if that is secondary it's only a matter of time. From diagnosis to death for my dad was around 18 months. But they found the cancer at stage 3 or 4, so it was already in its advanced stages. I hope that helps.
