Patients in more of 50% age over 65 years. 150 patients with breast cancer older then 65 years underwent surgery. T1 and T2 < 2 cm patients were treated with quadrantectomy and radiotherapy. T2 > 2 cm and T3 patients underwent radical mastectomy. T4 patients were treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy before surgery. Mean follow up was 48 (range 12-78) months. 43 patients (28.6%) had a progression of the neoplasia. Five years mortality rate was 18.6%.
