Popis: | A population-based study in Europe from 1999 to 2007 suggested that the UK’s cancer outcomes for the elderly population were poor in comparison with the rest of Europe. 5-year survival rates for women of 75 years or over with breast cancer were seen to be particularly low: 79.2% compared with the northern European mean of 84.7% [1]. |
