Although advancing age can greatly increase the complexities of treating metastatic breast cancer, chronological age alone is insufficient to determine the type or intensity of treatment. Older patients require an individualized approach that takes into account the patient's physical ability, social circumstances and mental capacity to tolerate treatment. This section features three older women treated with eribulin for metastatic breast cancer. In the first case, a 70-year-old woman maintained stable disease into her 34th month of treatment with third-line eribulin. In the remaining cases, two heavily pretreated women (80 and 90 years, respectively) with metastatic disease and liver involvement presented objective radiological benefit to later-line eribulin along with prolonged clinical improvement and good tolerability.
