Background/aim: Elderly patients with early-stage breast cancer have potentially been underrepresented in clinical trials. Thus, treatment strategies for a minority of elderly patients with hormone receptor (HR)-negative breast cancer may be inadequately informed.
Patients And Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 126 patients with HR-negative breast cancer aged ≥65 years.
Background: The number of breast cancer patients of childbearing age has been increasing. Therefore, we investigated the characteristics and the childbearing status of the patients who received systemic therapy for breast cancer during their childbearing age to better understand the clinical impact of childbirth.
Methods: Female patients with breast cancer younger than 40 years old who underwent surgery and received perioperative systemic therapy from 2007 to 2014 were included in this study.
