BackgroundDespite data from randomized trials supporting omission of radiation therapy (RT) for women70years of age with T1, estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) tumors undergoing breast-conserving therapy (BCT), RT usage remains high. We reviewed our institutional experience to determine if risk factors for local recurrence or comorbidities influenced use.MethodsWomen70years of age with T1, ER+, human epidermal growth factor receptor2-negative (HER2-) tumors undergoing BCT in 2010-2012 were identified from a prospectively maintained database. Ten-year estimated mortality was calculated using the Suemoto index. The associations of clinicopathological features and mortality risk on receipt of RT were examined.ResultsOverall, 323 patients with 327 cancers were identified. Median age was 75years, median tumor size was 1cm, and all were clinically node negative; 53.7% of patients received RT. RT usage decreased with age (73.6%, age 70-74years; 49.5%, age 75-79years; 33.3%, age 80-84years; 10.7%,85years; p
