Abstract
The results of treatment were retrospectively analyzed in 225 elderly and senile breast cancer (BC) patients aged 60-80 years. Of them 122 patients received only medical treatment comprising chemo-, radio- and hormonal therapies and 133 had multimodality treatment involving surgery, chemo-, radio-, and hormonal therapies. Examinations demonstrated that 5-year survival was 87.7% in the BC patients who had received medical treatment and 96.2% in those who had undergone multimodality treatment including surgery. Medical treatment may be the method of choice in treating elderly and senile women with comorbidity and in those who refuse to be surgically treated.
