Abstract
Accelerated radiation therapy in 5 fractions was technically feasible and resulted in low acute toxicity. Clinically relevant erythema was only observed in patients receiving a boost, but still at an acceptable rate. Although the follow-up is still short, the results on acute toxicity after accelerated radiation therapy were encouraging. A 5-fraction schedule is well tolerated in the elderly and may lower the threshold for radiation therapy in this population.
