Abstract
Rising life expectancy is perhaps the single most powerful metric charting the successes of modern living. Our ageing population is testament to better healthcare but simultaneously one of medicine’s greatest challenges. In this special geriatric oncology in radiotherapy edition of TipsRO, we have invited papers exploring the care of older adults with cancer across multiple elements of the radiotherapy treatment pathway. This edition augments the already growing recognition within the global radiation oncology community that we must urgently seek to improve outcomes for older adults with cancer who may benefit from radiotherapy.
