[Reduction of functional inoperability in patients with breast cancer]

The somatic condition of patients with breast cancer was assessed. Preoperative correction and intraoperative control owing to which 90 percent of the patients could radically be operated on were considered. Only 5 percent of the elderly patients were operated on palliatively in view of the correction failure. Thus as a result of the goal-oriented preoperative preparation none of the patients with breast cancer was dented surgery according to functional contraindications. The elderly age was not related to the surgery denial or its scope restriction.
