| Core Tip |
Older patients represent a unique subgroup of the cancer patient population, for which the role of cancer therapy requires special consideration. The effects of radiation therapy (RT) on the outcomes of elderly patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) are not well-defined in the literature. Herein, data were extracted from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database to identify factors associated with RT administration and explore the impact of RT on survival in elderly patients with PDAC. This study highlights the survival benefit of RT in elderly patients with PDAC on a larger population scale and proposes possible obstacles to accessing treatment for elderly patients with PDAC. |
