Description

CyberKnife (CK) treatment for elderly patients with oral cancer (75 or older) was analyzed. The subjects were 26 patients (10 males and 16 females; age range 75-98, median 84), who were followed up for more than one year. The range of tumor volume was 3.5-223.3ml (median 47.4ml), which were treated with 21.0-35.0 Gy by 3-7 fractions. Median overall survival and progression-free survival after CK treatment were 24 months and 12 months, respectively. CK treatment appears to be feasible for elderly patients with oral cancer.
