!["[G]iven the improvements in compliance and tolerability of the de-escalated regimen in older patients, with preserved early cancer outcomes, this reduced-dose regimen could be considered a new treatment option for [patients who are] frailer [and] not fit for standard-dose chemoradiotherapy," according to the study authors.](https://cdn.sanity.io/images/0vv8moc6/cancernetwork/8987adec8367653dbaf8fc0f82c7dbfcb914281e-500x404.jpg?w=350&fit=crop&auto=format)
