Commentary
Five-year relative survival for breast cancer has improved over time, from 79.5% in the period 1988–1997 to 92.3% for the period 2008–2017. There was a significant difference in 5-year relative survival between women aged 0–44 years and 45–64 years (89.3% and 94.2%, respectively). 1-11 The very welcome improvement in relative survival reflects early diagnosis through screening mammography and improved breast cancer management and treatments.10-11
