ABSTRACT
The incidence and mortality of breast cancer increase with increasing age, and almost half of all breast cancer cases are diagnosed in women aged 65 years and older. Moreover many studies have indicated that the elderly are less screened, and have lesser and frequently inferior treatment. In contrast, clinical trials focusing on the elderly suggest that they do as well with surgery, radiation, and standard chemotherapy regimens as their younger counterparts. Our study suggest that in women aged 65 years, and older, breast cancer can be detected at an earlier stage by mammographic screening.
