Özet

Purpose: The incidence of breast cancer increases with advanced age; 80% of patients are older then 50 years and 40% of patients are older then 65 years. But clinical trials including elderly patient are unsatisfactory. Most of the treatment decisions are based on retrospective subgroup analysis and extrapolations from studies including young patients. In this trial we aimed to reevaluate our elderly breast cancer patients' data.
