Optimal management of BC in the elderly is a real challenge and requires a multidisciplinary approach, mainly because the elderly population is heterogeneous. In this review, we describe the various possibilities of treatment for localized or metastatic BC in an aging population. We provide an overview of the comprehensive geriatric assessment, surgery, radiotherapy, and adjuvant therapy for early localized BC and of chemotherapy and targeted therapies for metastatic BC. Finally, we attempt to put into perspective the necessary balance between the expected benefits and risks, especially in the adjuvant setting.Keywords: elderly, breast cancer, geriatric assessment, surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapyLe Saux ORipamonti BBruyas ABonin OFreyer GBonnefoy MFalandry CDove Medical Pressarticleelderlygeriatric assessmentbreast cancersurgerychemotherapyradiotherapyGeriatricsRC952-954.6ENClinical Interventions in Aging, Vol Volume 10, Pp 157-174 (2015)
