Abstract

BackgroundAdjuvant radiotherapy (RT) following surgical resection confers a survival benefit for adult patients with locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). We aim to investigate if adjuvant RT provides a similar survival advantage to patients ages 80+ through a national curated database.MethodsThis retrospective cohort study queried the National Cancer Database (NCDB) for all cases of HNSCC between 2004-2016. Patients treated with surgical resection alone were compared to those treated with surgery plus adjuvant RT. Overall survival (OS) was compared within adult (age ResultsNCDB identified 16,504 locally advanced HNSCC treated with definitive surgery with 9,129 (55.3%) also receiving adjuvant RT. The mean age was 63.8 years (SD = 12.0) with 88.7% of patients ages ConclusionThe addition of adjuvant RT in senior patients (age ≥80 years) may not provide a similar OS benefit to that observed in younger patients. Further research is needed to best guide shared-decision making in this population.
