Locoregional Treatment of Elderly Patients with Triple Negative Breast Cancer and Clinically Positive Axillary Lymph Nodes

Elderly patients with breast cancer are often involved in complicated comorbidities. Besides the primary tumor, when formulating effective local therapeutic plans, clinicians should also evaluate the function of important organs and tolerance of elderly patients to the treatment. Compared with other subtypes, triple negative breast cancer(TNBC) is mainly characterized by strong invasiveness and a poor prognosis. The choice of locoregional treatment is more difficult for elderly patients with TNBC and clinically positive axillary lymph nodes. For such a special group, more reasonable individualized treatments need to be explored.
