Compliance and Outcome of Elderly Patients Treated in the Concurrent Once-Daily Versus Twice-Daily Radiotherapy (CONVERT) Trial.

8 More younger patients completed radiotherapy within the optimal treatment time defined in the protocol (19 to 21 days in the twice-daily and 45 to 47 days in the once-daily groups, respectively), but this did not reach statistical significance (41 (61%) older versus 298 (71%) younger patients, respectively; p = 0.153) ( Table 2 ). 8 In the twice-daily radiotherapy arm, 19 of 29 older patients (66%) completed chemotherapy compared to 23 of 38 older patients (61%) in the once-daily arm.
