本研究的目的是了解马来西亚老年乳腺癌幸存者的概况。在一项调查研究中，对马来西亚半岛69名60至84岁的乳腺癌患者和幸存者进行了定制问卷调查。记录的主要民族是华人，其次是马来人和印度人。大多数妇女已婚（87%）并有子女（84.1%）。刚刚超过一半的人（53.6%）受过初等和中等教育，24.7%受过高等教育。55%的研究参与者自己决定治疗，60.8%的人每周至少锻炼3次，56.6%的人向专家寻求信息。我们的研究表明，老年乳腺癌幸存者意识到运动在日常生活中的重要性，并尝试远离癌症（例如，锻炼，娱乐活动以及与朋友和家人保持良好的关系）。
The purpose of this study IIIas to profile older breast cancer survivors in Malaysia. In a survey study, a custom made questionnaire was administered to 69 breast cancer patients and survivors between 60 and 84 years of age in Peninsular Malaysia. The main ethnic group recorded was Chinese, followed by Malay and Indian. The majority of women were married (87%) and had children (84.1%). Just over half (53.6%) had primary and secondary education, whereas 24.7% had higher education. Fifty five percent of the study participants made their own decision on treatment, 60.8% exercised at least 3 times in a week, and 56.6% sought information from specialists. Our study suggests that older breast cancer survivors are aware of the importance of exercise in their daily lives and make attempts to be cancer free (e.g. doing exercise, recreational activity and have good relationships with friends and family).
