Article Synopsis
- Breast cancer is a leading cause of death in women, particularly affecting those over 70, who often receive different treatment protocols, especially concerning radiation therapy.
- A study of 118 elderly breast cancer patients revealed that older age correlated with a lower likelihood of receiving radiotherapy, while those with HER2-negative tumors were more likely to get it.
- The findings suggest that age significantly impacts treatment decisions, indicating a need for further research into why chronological age, rather than biological health, affects the use of radiotherapy in these patients.*
