Less treatment, but whose choice? Geriatric considerations in breast cancer care
Abstract
Minami and colleagues present a timely and methodologically rigorous qualitative analysis of treatment conversations between oncologists and women aged ≥70 years with early-stage, hormone receptor–positive breast cancer [1]. By audio-recording consultations the authors capture real world decision making as it unfolds, addressing a key limitation of prior studies that relied on documentation or retrospective interviews.
