Breast cancer is 16 years old.

It is entirely possible for advanced breast cancer to live for 16 years. This is due to a combination of factors.

First, continuous advances in medical technology are one of the key factors. Today, breast cancer diagnosis and treatment methods are increasingly accurate and diverse. Early screening can detect tumors in time and buy time for treatment. The treatment of advanced breast cancer is also constantly updated and improved, including chemotherapy, radiotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy and other comprehensive use of a variety of ways, greatly improving the survival rate and quality of life of patients.

Secondly, the patient's own positive attitude and good compliance is crucial. Positive attitude towards disease and optimism can greatly enhance the body's resistance and ability to cope with treatment. Strict adherence to doctor's treatment recommendations, timely medication and regular review are also important guarantees for achieving good treatment results.

Moreover, scientific care and support are also indispensable. Including the care, psychological counseling and nutritional support given by family members and medical staff, patients can feel warmth and strength during treatment, which helps to better cope with the challenges brought by diseases.
