Abstract

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women. The elderly, whose numbers have been increasing, constitute a population in their own right, because of the many co-morbidities they suffer from. The epidemiology of breast cancer, particularly in elderly women, is described here, as well as the diagnosis and the assessment of extension, which do not differ from the rest of the population.

Keywords: bilan d’extension; breast cancer; cancer du sein; diagnosis; diagnostic; elderly women; epidemiology; extension assessment; femme âgée; épidémiologie.
