Abstract

Supportive care, in the context of breast cancer in the elderly, is part of standard oncogeriatric care. Nevertheless, the multidisciplinary reinforcement of the different transversal teams can support the global approach, that is essential to the quality of care and the life course. Evaluation is the basis of this management. As a result of this evaluation, the approach to sexual health is a novelty that is often insufficiently considered with elderly patients suffering from breast malignancy.
