Biganzoli, Laura; Zafarana, Elena; Di Leo, Angelo
- Abstract
The article comments on the paper "Adjuvant Treatment of Breast Cancer in the Elderly: Understanding and Addressing the Challenges," by Leona B. Downey. There is a general consensus that fit elderly women with endocrine-resistant breast cancer should be offered adjuvant chemotherapy. However, the role of adjuvant chemotherapy in patients with estrogen receptor- and/or progesterone receptor-positive breast cancer is much less clear.
