Surgery plus adjuvant RT and definitive RT produced similar survival in advanced head and neck cancer
After propensity matching, overall survival was similar between surgery plus adjuvant RT and definitive RT, while disease-control differences remained non-significant.
Greater use of radical radiotherapy tracked with improved lung cancer survival
Radical radiotherapy use nearly doubled while five-year lung cancer-specific survival rose from 21.9% to 33.1% across Northern Ireland.
