Abstract
Withholding short-course preoperative radiotherapy depends on age only in patients aged 70Â years or older. As a rule, factors that predict life expectancy, determine also the decision to withheld preoperative radiotherapy. With the exception that women receive radiotherapy less frequently as compared to men, although women survive longer.
