Answer to Question 1

Fibrous tissue proliferates in the surrounding normal breast tissue in an attempt to contain the cancer.

Answer to Question 2

The 5-year survival rate is being used as a measure of curability. However, it does not indicate that the patient is truly cured, as some cancers are prone to late recurrences and may be fatal even many years after the initial treatment, such as breast cancer and malignant melanoma.
