As title. I am wondering whether diagnosis age is correlated with relapse free survival in breast cancer patients? With or without conditioning on subtypes, or stages? I did not find many reports on this. Many thanks!

The study by Kiderlen et al. "shows that not only in relatively healthy patients who participate in a trial, but in all older breast cancer patients, outcome deteriorates with increasing age."
