title: [Whether to apply the standard treatment for breast cancer in older patients: arguments for and against].
abstract: Data results of treatment of elderly breast cancer patients in different medical centers are provided, cohort up to 1922 patients. Better survival indicators are recorded within this category when using standard treatment plans (the same as for main category of patients). However it has been noticed that in most cases the patients' age (70-80 years) was considered a barrier to prescription the adequate treatment; 54-98% of patients do not receive standard treatment.
