Abstract

Objective: Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women, with incidence and mortality increasing dramatically with age. Applying data ofyounger patients to the geriatric age group indicates ‘‘evidence biased medicine’’. Therefore, this study aimed to present the clinical and pathologicalfeatures of breast cancer and treatment choices in older patients.Materials and Methods: This study included 72 patients aged 75 years and older with breast cancer who were admitted to our medical oncologyclinic between 2005 and 2013. Clinicopathological and demographic features, progression-free survival and overall survival and adjuvant andpalliative treatments were recorded retrospectively. Categorical variables were presented as number (n) and percentage (%) and continuous variablesas median and minimum-maximum. Survival curves were drawn using the Kaplan-Meier method. P
