Although cisplatin-based chemotherapy concomitantly with radiotherapy is considered standard regimen for patients with locoregionally advanced HNSCC, there is substantial real-world heterogeneity regarding concomitant chemotherapy in older HNSCC patients.The XXX study is an international multicenter cohort study including older (≥65 years) HNSCC patients treated with definitive radiotherapy at 13 academic centers in the United States and Europe. Here, patients with concomitant chemoradiation were analyzed regarding overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) using Kaplan-Meier analyses, while Fine-Gray competing risks regressions were performed regarding the incidence of locoregional failures (LRFs) and distant metastases (DMs).Six hundred ninety-seven patients with a median age of 71 years were included in this analysis.
