Overview
Prognosis
The prognosis for people with Paget's disease of the breast depends on a variety of factors, including the following::[1]
- Whether or not a tumor is present in the affected breast
- If one or more tumors are present in the affected breast, whether those tumors are ductal carcinoma in situ or invasive breast cancer
- If invasive breast cancer is present in the affected breast, the stage of that cancer
The presence of invasive cancer in the affected breast and the spread of cancer to nearby lymph nodes are associated with reduced survival.
According to NCI’s Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results program, the 5-year relative survival for all women in the United States who were diagnosed with Paget's disease of the breast between 1988 and 2001 was 82.6 percent. This compares with a 5-year relative survival of 87.1 percent for women diagnosed with any type of breast cancer. For women with both Paget's disease of the breast and invasive cancer in the same breast, the 5-year relative survival declined with increasing stage of the cancer (stage I, 95.8 percent; stage II, 77.7 percent; stage III, 46.3 percent; stage IV, 14.3 percent).
