Introduction
The present study was designed to describe tumour features and treatments for patients with breast cancer. It also aimed at assessing the risk of distant metastases in relation to biological profiles, disease stages and treatment.

Journal of Geriatric Oncology, Article 101611. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jgo.2023.101611

As older adults with cancer are underrepresented in randomized clinical trials (RCT), there is limited evidence on which to rely for treatment decisions for this population. Commonly used RCT endpoints for the assessment of treatment efficacy are mor...

Geriatric assessment for older people with cancer: policy recommendations. Global Health Research and Policy, 8(1), Article 37. https://doi.org/10.1186/s41256-023-00323-0

Most cancers occur in older people and the burden in this age group is increasing. Over the past two decades the evidence on how best to treat this population has increased rapidly. However, implementation of new best practices has been slow and need... Read More about Geriatric assessment for older people with cancer: policy recommendations.

Are current cancer treatments on target for our ageing cancer population? (2023)
Journal Article

Worldwide the cancer population is ageing - within a decade almost two-thirds of newly diagnosed patients will be aged 65 years and older. Despite this, the majority of oncology clinical trials continue to recruit patients who are younger and fitter...

Oncoplastic breast surgery in older women with primary breast cancer: a systematic review (2023)
Journal Article

Oncoplastic procedures allow excision of larger breast tumours, or unfavourable tumour/breast ratio lesions while achieving a good cosmetic outcome. This increases the pool of patients eligible for breast conservation over mastectomy, reducing the ne...

Introduction
Breast cancer in older women tends to have more favourable biology, compared to younger women. Androgen receptor (AR) is significant for breast tumour carcinogenesis; however, the role of AR in older women has not been fully explored....
