Prediction of rectum and bladder morbidity following radiotherapy of prostate cancer based on motion-inclusive dose distributions

In radiotherapy (RT) of prostate cancer the key organs at risk (ORs) - the rectum and the bladder - display considerable motion, which may influence the dose/volume parameters predicting for morbidity. In this study we compare motion-inclusive doses to planned doses for the rectum and bladder and explore their associations with prospectively recorded morbidity.The study included 38 prostate cancer patients treated with hypo-fractionated...
