Traditionally, cancer was considered "cured" when the patient survived 5 years without evidence of disease. We now know that quite a few cancers, including breast, have a significant rate of late recurrence, ie, after the five-year window. But it's still a very strong psychological milestone for the patient and a convenient and practical benchmark for the clinician. |
