摘要：
The medical, psychological and social aspects of breast cancer in older women are discussed. Information is presented on relative risk, diagnostic procedures and treatment options available to breast cancer patients. The unique psychosocial issues confronted by older breast cancer patients are explored. Clinicians are encouraged to assess developmental stage, concurrent life stressors and the woman's personal interpretation of the meaning of the cancer diagnosis. Medical caregivers are urged to avoid age bias, including ageist attitudes held by the patient, in assessment and treatment planning.
