Imaging of Malignant Breast Tumors
摘要
Breast cancer in the geriatric population is a major health problem, which will increase to affect more individuals as the population ages. The two most important risk factors for developing breast cancer are female gender and older age. Given the prevalence of this disease, knowledge of the clinical and radiological features of the various types of breast cancer is essential. This chapter discusses the imaging appearances of the most common types of breast cancer found in elderly patients and provides an overview of the staging and treatment of breast cancer in these patients.
