Abstract
Growing numbers of patients with cancer are surviving after treatment with pelvic radiotherapy. We evaluated the technique of volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT), which delivers a decreased dose to the organs at risk. We aimed to determine outcomes of this technique in terms of patient-reported acute toxicity and late effects and correlate the frequency of gastrointestinal symptoms with the volume of bowel receiving radiation dose.
