Omitting radiotherapy in elderly breast cancer patients: Valid strategy or illusory hope?

Breast cancer treatment strategies have evolved significantly over the years, and decisions regarding the use of radiotherapy have become increasingly complex.

While omitting radiotherapy may be a viable option for select patient groups, it is not without its challenges. The decision to omit radiotherapy in breast cancer treatment should be highly individualized and made after a comprehensive evaluation of the patient's specific circumstances.
