(P067) Survival Outcomes With Adjuvant Chemoradiation Versus Adjuvant Radiation Alone for Elderly Patients With Resected Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma With Positive Surgical Margins or Extra-Capsular Extension

Randomized trials have demonstrated that adjuvant chemoradiotherapy (CRT) confers an overall survival (OS) benefit over adjuvant radiation (RT) alone in patients with resected head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) with adverse pathologic features (positive surgical margins [SM+] and/or extra-capsular extension [ECE]). Whether this OS benefit exists in an elderly population (age ≥65 years) remains unknown.
