Abstract:
Breast cancer represents an important epidemiological and clinical problem, and the elderly age represents a large proportion of women with breast cancer. In patients older than 65-year, the frequency of breast cancer is 50% and more. Early diagnosis and adequate therapy may play an important role also in the elderly. We performed a retrospective analysis of 146 women older than 65-year to determine the effect of age in management of the disease.
