Survival
Although the disease still worries people, the remission rate increases from year to year and breast cancer is not the deadly and devastating disease that it used to be. Today it is about 88 % of women who survive beyond five years after receiving a diagnosis of breast cancer. However, after lung cancer, it is still the type of cancer that causes more deaths among Quebecers and statistics show that every week, 100 Canadians die from that disease!
