Well, to make any predictions I guess I should have a medical education at least. You`d better read about stage 4 breast cancer survival rate myallamericanhospice.com/stages-of-breast-cancer/ and be sure you have all information required about the treatment and its methods. I really hope it will make sense for you

Stage four breast cancer can most definitely be treated with targeted therapy. It depends on the type of target therapy you are also talking about. Chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, etc. Treating stage four breast cancer is quite difficult, but over the past decade scientists have truly begun to understand breast cancer and what drives the tumor to continue to feed off of its host. People can now survive stage four breast cancer for another ten years due to modern medicine and how scientists are able to have a better understanding of the different types of breast cancer. Hormones play a large role in breast cancer because hormones such as estrogen and progesterone feed the tumors and allow them to become much larger. Hormone targeted therapy is another form of treatment in breast cancer and this has proven to be very effective against many forms of breast cancer such her HER2 and SER. Stage four breast cancer has become one of the most treatable forms of cancer and survival statistics continue to increase.
