But Dr. Schatter focuses ( < a href= " http://sco.lt/8cudRR " > here < /a > ) on the & quot;bright side & quot; by offering as evidence these graphs of median survival (left) and 5-year relative survival (right) after an initial diagnosis of metastatic breast cancer. < br > < br > < table align= " center " cellpadding= " 0 " cellspacing= " 0 " class= " tr-caption-container " style= " margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center; " > < tbody > < tr > < td style= " text-align: center; " > < a href= " https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-k7Fy5WrPzFE/VziFlgX5VHI/AAAAAAAAIso/juSVRQxC4_UVCRoVLi0pXQWmMfJtlNk9gCLcB/s1600/Met-BC-graph-data-from-NCI-May-2016-1200x550.jpg " imageanchor= " 1 " style= " margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; " > < img border= " 0 " height= " 230 " src= " https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-k7Fy5WrPzFE/VziFlgX5VHI/AAAAAAAAIso/juSVRQxC4_UVCRoVLi0pXQWmMfJtlNk9gCLcB/s640/Met-BC-graph-data-from-NCI-May-2016-1200x550.jpg " width= " 500 " > < /a > < /td > < /tr > < tr > < td class= " tr-caption " style= " text-alig...
