摘要：
Invasive therapeutic procedures in elderly patients with advanced breast cancer are usually contraindicated as improvement of the quality of life in this situation is considered more important than increasing life span. In the present case, however, surgical removal of the tumour has led to a significant improvement of the quality of life and could have been even more beneficial if carried out at an earlier stage.
