Treating breast cancer in the elderly differently makes medical sense
Or
is discrimination

For older women these hazards would exceed the estimated benefits Breast Cancer Trialists Collaborative GroupLancet 2000; 355: 175770if radiotherapy regimens can yield most of the benefit while avoiding most of the hazard, 20-year survival could be moderately improved

Effects of radiotherapy and of differences in the extent ofsurgery for early breast cancer on local recurrence and15-year survival: an overview of the randomised trialsEarly Breast Cancer Trialists Collaborative Group, Lancet 2005; 366: 20872106By contrast, more than half the 15-yearbreast cancer mortality (and much more than half of anysuch treatment effects on breast cancer mortality)occurred after the first 5 years. Some local treatmentcomparisons (eg, axillary clearance vs effective axillaryradiotherapy; mastectomy vs BCS plus effectiveradiotherapy; post-mastectomy radiotherapy in nodenegativedisease) involved little (10%) absolutedifference in the 5-year risk of local recurrence and, inaggregate, these comparisons also involved littledifference in 15-year breast cancer mortality (figure 5,upper panel).
