Abstract in brief

  • The study evaluated the outcomes of radiotherapy in very elderly esophageal cancer patients aged over 75, finding that modern, conservative treatment can be effective with low toxicity levels.
  • Key prognostic factors influencing survival included cancer stage, nutritional status (NRI), immune response (NLR), radiation dose, and use of chemotherapy, with poorer outcomes associated with higher stage, lower NRI, and higher NLR.
  • Most treatment failures were due to local recurrence, and the study emphasizes the importance of considering nutritional and immune factors when planning treatment for this age group.
