[Breast cancer screening in women over 75].
Organised breast cancer screening targets women aged between 50 and 74. Beyond this age group, the risk persists and cancer professionals notice inequalities in access to diagnosis linked to age. With the aim of improving early detection of these cancers in women over 75, an oncogeriatric nurse at the Léon-Bérard cancer centre in Lyon has carried out a study to find out if modesty could represent a hindrance to screening.
