Results: Voxel-based Cox regression and permutation dose difference testing revealed regions where increased dose was correlated with gastrointestinal toxicity. Grade=2 RB was associated with posteriorly extended lateral beams that manifested high doses (> 55 Gy) in a small rectal volume adjacent to the clinical target volume. A correlation was found between grade=2 tenesmus and increased low-intermediate dose (~25 Gy) at the posterior beam region, including the posterior rectum and perirectal fat space (PRFS). Conclusions: The serial response of the rectum with respect to RB has been demonstrated in patients with posteriorly extended lateral beams. Similarly, the parallel response of the PRFS with respect to tenesmus has been demonstrated in patients treated with the posterior beam.]]> Thu 24 Nov 2022 15:46:42 AEDT ]]> The effect of nutritional interventions involving dietary counselling on gastrointestinal toxicities in adults receiving pelvic radiotherapy - a systematic review https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38985 n = 11), pain/cramping (n = 9) and bloating/flatulence (n = 5).
