And most of that fall in mortality was thanks to tamoxifen and the aromatase inhibitors. Furthermore the surgical and radiotherapeutic burden is getting less and less and the quality of these extended lives is getting better and better. References on request

Good point. We don't do radical mastectomies any more. We do a lot fewer modified radical mastectomies—or just mastectomies. We now have tests that have led to fewer women receiving chemotherapy. We don't remove all the axillary lymph nodes nearly as often. The list goes on.
