Modern treatments boost breast cancer survival rates. According to the BBC, "Scientists found drug and hormonal therapies effectively cure many women - rather than simply delaying the recurrence of disease." While surgery can remove the main disease, it is the follow-up treatment that wipes out the seeds that can cause a recurrance.
But it's not the end of the fight by a longshot: "But if this trend is to continue and women are to benefit in the future, it's vital that there is greater investment in research." Note: I'd add "men" in there too, as men also get breast cancer.
