Introduction: Breast cancer in Cuba ocuppies first cause of death amoung females. This location has been poorly studied in third age. Materials and methods: A descriptive retrospective study was dine about the clinical characteristics, therapeutical conduct and results in 70 years old patients with breast cancer and treated at the INOR during the period of 1992-2002.Population was199 pacients that achieved inclusion criteria. Frequency was calculated as so as qualitative variable porcentages, media and standard deviation of quantitative variables. Results: The mayor frequency was in 70-74 years, stage II, ductal invasive carcinoma. Most used therapeutical election was combined surgery + hormones, the type was conservative surgery. In the treatment election age had a higher significance than staging. Survival was significant according to: surgery + hormone treatment, stage 1, and age 70-74, as so as hormone treatment in elders than 80. Axilar dissection and radiotherapy after consevative surgery turned out to be pronostic factors in both events. Conclusions: There was a better survival rate within the group to which we applied combined surgical therapy with hormones, by which we consider it the ideal treatment for this group. Key words: Breast cancer, age beyond 70 years. |
