If you’re out of the loop on the new study that showed women are 66% less likely to die from breast cancer, this video will tell you everything you need to know.

I’m Dr Liz O’Riordan. I’m a breast surgeon who’s had breast cancer, and I do the research so you don’t have to

A study published in the British Journal of Medicine today found that women diagnosed with early breast cancer today are 66% less likely to die within the first five years than women treated twenty years ago

They looked at every woman diagnosed with breast cancer from 1993-2015 and followed them up for 5 years.
Your risk of dying from breast cancer is highest in the first three years, and then it drops as the years go by (although breast cancer can come back 20-30 years later)

The study found that women diagnosed between 1993-9 had a 15% chance of dying in the first five years, compared to women diagnosed between 2010-5 who had a 4.9% chance of dying
