has chemo added to overall life expectancy
We recommend that all women over the age of 65 with breast cancer and a life expectancy exceeding 5 years be considered for standard chemotherapy regimens appropriate to their breast cancer stage if they are fit and do not have significant comorbidities.herefore, it is important to be able to assess the life expectancy of an individual patient. This assessment will depend both on the overall life expectancy for the patientâs age group (Table 1 â) and on any comorbid conditions that may influence life expectancy (Table 2 â).
