Abstract

Variations in ART and (e)SRT are not only driven by patient-related characteristics. In our nationwide cohort, the availability of a RT department on-site at the surgical centre was found to be an independent predictor for ART and (e)SRT, with a 1.5 times higher odds of receiving postoperative RT during the first 24 months after surgery.
