Low risk of breast cancer recurrence

A new study shows even women with advanced breast cancer have a low risk of recurrence.

After studying more than 2,800 women treated for breast cancer, researchers at the University of Texas say just seven percent of women with early stage cancer saw it return after five years.

Just 11 percent of stage two cancer patients suffered a recurrence. And for those with stage three cancer, 13 percent experienced a recurrence.
