Abstract
Ten years after diagnosis, older age at diagnosis is associated with increasing breast cancer mortality in univariate analysis, but it did not reach significance in multivariable analysis. This is not outweighed by a substantially higher other cause mortality with older age. This underlines the need to improve the balance between undertreatment and overtreatment in older patients with breast cancer. The trial was registered in International Trial Databases (ClinicalTrials.govNCT00279448, NCT00032136, and NCT00036270; the Netherlands Trial Registry NTR267).
