spindle cell cancer survival rate
If metastasis occurs, survival rates are less positive. A comparison of various case studies suggests that the mortality rate for spindle cell breast carcinoma ranges between 40% and 50%, and the average survival time after diagnosis is between 11 and 18 months.
But spindle cell breast cancer tumors with a more even split of spindle cell and ductal carcinoma elements have a higher rate of extranodal metastases, and a poorer prognosis. The rate of metastasis for spindle cell breast carcinoma shows no consistent statistical trend at this time.
