Summary

Background : Breast cancer is a disease that occurs primarily in elderly women: 54057 of breast cancer occurred on women in 2008, 15.2% were between 75 and 84 years and 5.4% were over 85 years. Elderly women cancers care exposes to several problems: the opportunity for screening, knowing that mammography is not recommended after 75 years old, and the level of treatment depending on the background and the existence of weaknesses. It should determine whether patients are in adequate physiological condition to tolerate classical and "complete" treatment or conversely in a precarious state with advanced fragility, justifying only lightened and adapted symptomatic treatment. Purpose : The purpose of this research theme is to assess the quality of life of elderly patients who underwent mastectomy for breast cancer. The objectives are: * Assess the determinants of acceptance and / or rejection of mastectomy based on personal background (level of fragility, self-image) and linked to cancer * Assess the quality of life, 6 months later, of women who underwent or not mastectomy, and appreciate the determinants Abstract : The total mastectomy allow, oncologically, a more valid treatment than a lumpectomy, in many cases of women suffering from a breast cancer, but its relevance and acceptability are poorly known. Some think that an elderly woman, postmenopausal, is less concerned with her aesthetics and feminine attributes, which would allow her to accept easily the mastectomy. The research hypothesis is that the acceptability of mastectomy is not good in elderly women

Detailed description

Primary outcome: Better detection of comorbidity and geriatric syndromes in vulnerable patients Better detection of a degradation of the quality of life at D0 (at diagnosis) Secondary outcomes: Better support for quality of life and psychological support after mastectomy (revaluation to 6 months) Integration of patients in the geriatric sector and implementation of regular monitoring Study design: prospective, multicenter
