- Authors
Hillner, Bruce E.; Mandelblatt, Jeanne
- Abstract
The article focuses on providing care to older women with breast cancer. About half of the breast cancer patients in the United States are older women aged 65 years and above and their numbers are increasing each year. However, there is a lack of clinical trial data for the right treatment of older women patients. Observational research can help in providing information for the treatment of breast cancer in older women.
