In a report from ABC News, the risk of death is increased in older women with breast cancer. Breast cancer could lead to permanent disability and the need for Social Security disability benefits.
A new study finds that despite the type of tumor a woman has or the type of treatment used, the risk of death is greater for older women than younger. Additionally, older women are also at risk of the cancer returning and the risk increases with age. This sheds new light on how age may play a vital role in the risk of death from breast cancer.
Some believe that older women overtreated, leading to a poor outcome. However, researchers of this study indicate it wasn’t a contributing factor. This may lead to additional studies, which could look at why the risk of death is increased as women age.
According to the National Cancer Institute, in 2011, close to 300,000 women were diagnosed with breast cancer. While advanced treatment options can significantly help, there is also the chance that cancer could lead to disability.
