Breast surgery: minimally invasive diagnosis and treatment (original) (raw)

Clinics in geriatric medicine, 2006

Abstract

The increasingly large proportion of elderly women in the United States population carries a disproportionate burden of breast cancer. The advent of minimally invasive surgical techniques applicable to breast disease has brought new opportunities to diagnose and treat breast cancer in the older population. This article reviews issues important to the evolving field of breast cancer management in older women: cancer risk and screening considerations, diagnosis and biopsy approaches, and surgical treatment options based on current studies and recommendations.
