Abstract Objective This study aimed to investigate the clinical characteristics and treatment status among aged breast cancer patients in order to provide evidence for further research. Methods Aged breast cancer patient (≥65) were received in a local hospital from January 2005 to March 2010, divided into two groups, <70 and ≥70 years old. Data including basic information, reproductive risk factors, pathological characters and treatment management were collected from medical records. The comparison was conducted between aged patients of <70 and ≥70 years old. Results The mean age of included patients was 70. The average BMI was 24.3. Most of patients received education below tertiary high school. The patients of ≥70 were more likely to have more living births (P<0.05) but lower lymph node metastasis (P<0.05). The pathological types were not statistically significant in the two groups (P>0.05). Currently chemotherapy, endocrine-therapy, surgery were still processed non-standardized. Endocrine-therapy, target therapy and breast conservative surgery was still applied inadequately. Conclusions The standardized treatment among aged breast cancer patients needed be strengthened. Chemotherapy, endocrinology, targeted therapy and surgical treatment still need to be further normalized. Breast conservation surgery, endocrine therapy and target therapy should be promoted for more application
