Outcomes of breast reconstruction in older women: patterns of uptake and clinical outcomes in a large metropolitan practice

Older age is associated with lower rates of breast reconstruction (BR) following mastectomy. This study compared a range of factors in women aged 60 years and older who had received mastectomy and BR with those who received no BR (NBR).
