“…5,17 In a phase II study of East and Southeast Asian patients who were younger than 70 years, the 5-year cumulative rates of grade Q2 and major late complications of the rectum were found to be 20.2% and 7.8%, respectively. 18 In light of these previous findings, the present study confirms that daily CCRT in elderly patients was feasible in terms of acute and late adverse effects. Generally, patients 80 years and older have heterogeneous concomitant conditions, and it is often difficult to evaluate well-being for these patients.…”

“…4,5 Although radical hysterectomy (RH) has traditionally been the standard treatment of early-stage cervical cancer, the National Comprehensive Cancer Network guidelines recommend cisplatin-based chemoradiation therapy (CRT) and as a primary treatment of International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage IIB cervical cancer. 6,7 However, CRT and adjuvant radiotherapy can both result in many serious complications that can destroy ovarian function and damage other organs. Many patients who receive CRT or adjuvant radiotherapy treatment experience conditions that can significantly affect their quality of life, including menopausal symptoms, sexual dysfunction, bowel complications, late urinary complications, pelvic fibrosis, and vaginal atrophy.…”
