Abstract

PURPOSE: Radiation therapy (RT) has been associated with decreased health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in clinical trials of early-stage endometrial cancer (EC), but few studies have examined the association in real-world settings. We assessed HRQOL associated with adjuvant RT for older women with early-stage EC within a large U.S. population-based registry resource.
METHODS: The Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results and the Medicare Health Outcomes Survey linkage (1998-2017) was used to identify women with early-stage EC aged
