Table1. PATIENTS CHARACTERISTICS:
BACKGROUND
N
• Head and neck cancer (HNC) represents a heterogeneous group of tumours requiring aggressive
and multimodality approaches.
• There is an increasing number of older patients diagnosed of locally advanced head and neck
cancer (LA-HNC) due to the growing life expectancy.
PERFORMANCE STATUS:
• The risk of death seems to be higher in patients with higher comorbidity status no because the
age alone.
 ECOG 0
 ECOG 1
 ECOG 2
OBJECTIVE & METHODS
• The aim of this study is to assess the suitability of bio-chemoradiation therapy (BCRT) for LA-HNC
patients ≥ 70 years old.
• A multicenter retrospective study was performed in four Spanish hospitals: Hospital Universitario
12 de Octubre, Hospital Universitario La Paz, Hospital Virgen de La Salud and Hospital
Universitario La Princesa.
• Patients treated between January 2009 and December 2011 were included.
• Demographics, comorbidity, treatment strategies and mortality were recorded.
• The majority of patients were able to complete all planned treatment (84% radiotherapy and 72% bio-chemotherapy).
• For subjects who underwent BCRT the complete and partial responses rates were 66% and 25% respectively.
GENDER:
 MALE
 FEMALE
• However older LA-HNC patients are more likely to receive nonstandard and less aggressive
therapies than younger patients.

• Number of comorbidities did not influence the election of BCRT. Nevertheless, ECOG PS ≥ 2 and age >80 ys were
related with cetuximab preference.
• At 27 months' follow-up 31 (51%) patients were still alive (median overall survival 42 m) and 18 (29.5%) relapses and
6 (9.8%) second neoplasms were observed.

• The mean age was 74 years old (70-88).
BCRT SCHEDULES:
• Twenty –nine (48%) of subjects had ≥ 2 comorbidities: hypertension 31 (51%); diabetes 13 (21%);
myocardial ischemia 9 (15%); bronchopathy 20 (33%), chronic renal insufficiency 15 (25%),
hepatopathy 3 (5%).

CONCLUSIONS
• Elderly patients with LA-HNC benefit from radical multidisciplinary treatment.

• We still have to improve the rate of treatment compliance, including a better election of BCRT schedule .
• In conclusion, a large proportion of geriatric patients can and should be offered the same HNC treatment as younger
patients, taking into account comorbidities, performance status and special needs of this group of patients.
• Several prospective studies are being planned in this HNC population.
