Factors Influencing the Decision of Surgical Treatment of Breast Cancer: Comparative Analysis of Survival and Death Rate

Breast cancer is among the three most prevalent cancer in the world. There are surgical approaches, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy available for the treatment of the breast cancer patient. This research aims to examine different surgical approaches used for treating the breast cancer. Furthermore, this research aims to compare the survival and death rates to analyse their impact on the decision of the surgical treatment of breast cancer. If the therapy is substantial for going towards the surgical approach, the decision have critical factors involved. The factors for treatment may be related to efficacy and adverse effects of the treatment, severity of the diseases, as well as the rate of survival and deaths. The choice of treatment i.e. adjuvant therapy with breast surgery, mastectomy before or after radiation therapy, chemotherapy with surgical treatment, and only chemotherapy or surgical therapy is selected on the basis of the age, menstrual changes (premenopausal or postmenopausal state), stage of the disease, and extent and location of the tumor. The survival rates for the breast cancer patients after surgery are more than those who expired. The survival rates of the patients with breast cancer who had undergone the surgical treatment have also shown the locoregional recurrences. However, this should not be the end point for the decision as the chances of recurrence remain there in cases of cancer each time
