Breast cancer survival has improved dramatically over the last few decades.

Courtesy of earlier diagnosis and better treatments, five year survival has increased from 70% in the 1980s to 90%, says Melbourne medical oncologist, Dr Jacqueline Chirgwin in the latest issue of the MJA.

It is little wonder then that there is now increased focus on the ongoing general health in this ever-growing population of breast cancer survivors.
