Introduction

Woman breast cancer has the loftiest cancer prevalence and is the fourth major cause of cancer mortality among women in China. Data indicate that cases progressed 60 times or aged account for 30 of all breast cancer cases and 46 of all deaths. According to good data from the National Central Cancer Registry (NCCR) of China,31.30 of cases with breast cancer were aged 60 times or aged in 2015; by 2030, the proportion of recently diagnosed breast cancer cases in this age group is estimated to be 41.37. A analogous pattern was linked in cases progressed ≥ 65 times. Research reported a shift in the age composition of breast cancer towards aged age groups in China, with an adding median age at opinion. Likewise, the mortality rate was set up to increase in aged cases according to NCCR data. Compared with youngish cases, cases over the age of 60 times have a vastly advanced rate of breast.

Therapy and prognosis of breast cancer

Cancer mortality, suggesting that aged women may gain little benefit from advances in breast cancer opinion and treatment. Thus, exploration on different treatment patterns between youngish and aged cases would help us to identify the factors causing this difference in mortality and develop strategies to exclude them. Still, utmost being studies concentrate on age-specific prevalence and mortality in China [1]. Former exploration reported notable differences in tumor pathological features between youngish and aged individualities with breast cancer. Aged cases were set up to have a larger proportion of estrogen receptor(ER) - and mortal epidermal growth factor receptor 2(HER2)-negative tumours. Studies also demonstrated that aged cases tended to develop tumours with less aggressive characteristics than their youngish counterparts [2]. Also, studies indicated that comorbidities, toxin forbearance, functional status, and life expectation played decreasingly essential places in treatment opinions with ageing, which makes decision- making for aged cases decreasingly complicated. Regarding the mischievous goods on functional status, toxin, and poor forbearance to chemotherapy, consideration must be given to whether the advantages of surgery and treatment will overweigh the pitfalls for these cases [3]. Grounded on the available substantiation, surgical intervention remains the main option for aged individualities and is inversely recommended in youngish cases. Also, a Cochrane review and another retrospective study reported that primary endocrine remedy (PET) had original survival issues to surgery in cases progressed 70 times and aged with ER-positive excrescences, while the progressionfree survival was worse for PET. Lately, a multi-center, prospective study comprising 3416 cases progressed ≥ 70 times further verified that surgery was ontologically superior to primary endocrine remedy. Retrospective studies reported that geriatric not only increased the prevalence of comorbidities but also told the clinic pathological features of breast cancer cases [4]. Our result indicated that aged cases tended to be diagnosed with less aggressive excrescences at a less advanced stage, which included a advanced proportion of ER-positive, HER2- negative excrescences and lower LN involvement. Although former studies suggested that aged women were more likely to have large excrescences, no significant difference in excrescence size was linked between the two groups in our study. A possible explanation might be the development and creation of breast cancer webbing in recent decades [5]. The most common histological subtype of invasive breast cancer in our cohort was ductal melanoma. Also, we linked a lower chance of ductal melanoma and advanced chance of lobular melanoma, a special type of invasive breast cancer. ACT was singly identified with a dropped threat of mortality in senior breast cancer cases. Still, our data reported a lower proportion of ACT among aged cases, which was harmonious with earlier studies. One possible explanation might be that the comorbidities, senior runs, frailty, and limited life expectation come more serious with ageing, which leads to precipitously poorer acceptance of standard chemotherapy. Still, grounded on the balanced cohorts in the current study, ACT was set up to be associated with better zilches. Group analysis further indicated that cases with large tumor size and further LN involvement could profit from ACT. In addition, an increased prevalence of single capecitabine operation was linked in senior cases. According to the results of the CALGB 49907 study, standard chemotherapy is superior to capecitabine immunotherapy in terms of relapse-free survival and zilches, especially in aged cases with hormone receptor-negative complaint [6]. Also, compared with standard chemotherapy, the advantage of capecitabine on quality of life during treatment was set up to be original at 1 time [7]. The major limitation of the present study was caused by the nature of retrospective studies, which made selection bias ineluctable regarding cases ’ options for postoperative treatment. As the cancer center with further than 2000 breast cancer cases diagnosed and hospitalized every time since 2010, a large proportion of senior cases are from other metropolises in China[8]. Still, due to a lack of convenience and socioeconomic problems, senior cases are inclined to return to the original area for posterior adjuvant treatment and regular follow-up. In addition, grounded on the experience of surgeons at the clinic, aged cases had a fairly unresistant station towards standard treatment [9]. Thus, an advanced chance of missing records on complete pathological assessment, complete follow- up data, and remedial information were linked in aged cases. Thus, the cohort of the current study may not be sufficient to reflect the pathological and remedial features of all senior Chinese cases with breast cancer [10-11]. Also, a large proportion of aged cases were barred from our analysis because they were diagnosed with ductal melanoma in situ, which lead to an indeed lower proportion of cases progressed ≥ 65 times in the current study. Without the specific cause of death, we can only assay OS rather of breast cancer-specific survival, which would give better assessment of remedial benefits in senior cases [12]. Regarding postoperative remedy, the completion status of endocrine and targeted remedy was absent in numerous cases, and intermittent adherence or closure of the rules led to shy data for survival analysis among cases with or without endocrine and targeted remedy.
