Revisiting surgical management of breast cancer in a geriatric population.
Breast cancer is a leading cause of death not only in the young population but also in the elderly. There are no consensus treatment guidelines for elderly breast cancer patients. We purposed to discuss surgical treatment options for breast cancer cases over 80 years concerning morbidity and mortality. ⋯ Comorbidity, the American Society of Anesthesiologists score, and life expectancy should be considered in the management and surgical planning of patients over 80 years of age with breast cancer. Minimally invasive approaches should be preferred for the elderly whenever feasible and applicable in the light of oncologic surgery principles in order to reduce complications and mortality rates.
