83. Risk factors for surgical morbidity in older women with breast cancer: An interim analysis of the Bridging the Age Gap in Breast Cancer Study

Background: Morbidity rates following breast cancer surgery are reportedly low. However there is little data on surgical morbidity in older patients undergoing breast cancer surgery and few that have systematically assessed the impact of pre-morbid fitness and frailty. This study has analysed surgical morbidity in a large, multi-centre, prospectively collected cohort of older women undergoing breast cancer surgery in the UK and stratified outcomes according to age, surgery type, co-morbidity and frailty.
