Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on non-metastatic breast cancer in elderly patients (>70 years) and aims to determine factors influencing their outcomes.
- Data was collected from medical records, with survival outcomes analyzed using statistical methods to evaluate the impact of various prognostic factors.
- Results show that despite hormonal therapy and surgery, important predictors of survival include age, tumor size, lymphovascular invasion, and molecular subtype, highlighting gaps in treatment approaches like breast-conserving therapy.
