Abstract
Purpose To identify various dosimetric parameters of bone marrow cavity that correlate with acute hematologic toxicity (HT) in patients with anal squamous cell carcinoma treated with definitive chemoradiation therapy (CRT). Methods and materials We analyzed 32 patients receiving CRT. The whole pelvic bone marrow (PBM) and the lumbosacral spine (LSS) subregion were contoured for each patient.
