Cancers, Vol. 12, Pages 258: Outcomes for Elderly Patients Aged 70 to 80 Years or Older with Locally Advanced Oral Cavity Squamous Cell Carcinoma: A Propensity Score –Matched, Nationwide, Oldest Old Patient–Based Cohort Study
Conclusions: Surgery for elderly patients with LA-OCSCC is associated with a significant survival benefit, but the association is nonsignificant in the oldest elderly patients. No survival differences were observed between RT alone and CCRT in these elderly patients. Non-treatment should not be an option for these patients.
