Abstract Background: The health burden of breast cancer is rising in China. The effect of informed diagnosis on long-term survival has not been fully understood. This retrospective cohort study aims at exploring the association between early informed diagnosis and survival time in breast cancer patients.Methods: 12,327 breast cancer patients were enrolled between October 2002 and December 2016. Potential factors including knowing cancer diagnosis status, gender, age, clinical-stage, surgical history, the grade of reporting hospital and diagnostic year were registered. We followed up all participants every 6 months until June 2017.Results: By June 2017, 18.04% of the participants died of breast cancer. Both the 3-year and 5-year survival rate of whom knew cancer diagnosis were longer (P<0.001). By stratified analysis, except subgroups of male patients and patients in stage III, patients knowing diagnosis showed a better prognosis in all the other subgroups (P<0.05). By Cox regression analysis, it was showed that not knowing cancer diagnosis was an independent risk factor for survival in breast cancer patients (P<0.001).Conclusions: Being aware of their cancer diagnosis plays a protective role in extending the survival time in breast cancer patients, which suggests medical staff and patients’ families disclose cancer diagnosis to patients timely.
