Geriatric radiotherapy in a war-torn country: Experience from Iraq

Being the 1st study in this regard in a war-torn nation, Iraq, our results demonstrated that GP is a sizable group of ZCC patients and that RT is a valuable modality in GP cancer treatment. “Age per se” is not a factor to avoid this modality when there is an indication to use it. Longer distance to reach the center was a challenge in some of our GP. Due to inadequate number of RT machines, GP have to wait long time before getting their RT, even for palliative purposes. Further studies in this field are warranted.
