Treatment Outcomes of Head and Neck Cancer Patients in the Elderly Receiving Different Chemoradiation Combinations: A Single-Center Experience

CONCLUSIONS: Management of LA HNSCC in the elderly is a challenging scenario. Our study shows that CRT is a feasible treatment modality for elderly patients with LA HNSCC. We recommend CRT with weekly cisplatin or weekly carboplatin and paclitaxel. A chemotherapy regimen should be carefully selected in this difficult to treat population.PMID:34515190 | DOI:10.1159/000518548
