Correlations between dose-surface histograms and the incidence of long-term rectal bleeding following conformal or conventional radiotherapy treatment of prostate cancer.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: In a randomized trial, the incidence of rectal bleeding among patients treated for prostate cancer using conformal radiotherapy was significantly lower (p = 0.002) than that among those treated conventionally. Here the relationship between rectal dose distributions and incide...
