Abstract

I read with interest the article by carol Davis in the October issue (Nursing Older People.22,8,6). The article summarised the findings of a UK study on age discrimination in breast cancer treatment. I have alerted colleagues in cancer care to the article to raise their awareness of this work. I have suggested that they reflect on their own area of practice and their role in treatment discussions and decisions as part of multiprofessional team meetings.
