Abstract
There is a lower incidence of esophagitis with increasing age even after adjustment for use of chemotherapy. This is a novel finding in thoracic oncology. No age dependence was noted for pulmonary toxicity. The elderly are able to tolerate definitive thoracic radiation well and should be offered this option when clinically warranted.
