Survival times continue to rise for people with advanced breast cancer
Survival for advanced breast cancer patients in the US improved by up to 10 months due to new systemic therapies and better diagnosis, study shows.
- The ABC Global Alliance reported on November 5, 2025 that people diagnosed with advanced breast cancer in 2025 can expect six or seven more months of survival compared to 2011, based on data from more than 60,000 US patients.
- In recent years new targeted treatments and systemic therapies have become available, with improvements in diagnosis and care alongside systemic therapies underpinning survival gains, researchers said.
- Data by subtype reveal where gains were largest, with HER2+/HR+ advanced breast cancer survival rising from 42 to 53.1 months, and triple‑negative showing smaller improvements, researchers said.
- Researchers say trial benefits extend to 'real‑world' patients who access therapies, emphasising the need to ensure advanced breast cancer patients can access and benefit from these treatments.
- Researchers expect gains to become clearer in the next few years, but the ABC Global Decade Report warns costly new treatments and rising inequalities limit equitable benefit.
