Breast cancer can return 15 years after treatment: Study
A 20-year-long study involving nearly 63,000 women has found that a type of breast cancer fuelled could resurface after being dormant for 15 years following successful treatment. A 40% risk of cancer recurrence was found in patients who originally had large tumours and lymph node cancer, while it was 10% for low-grade cancers with no spread to lymph nodes.
