Dose Constraints and Clinical Prognostic Factors for Late Rectal Incontinence After Prostate Cancer 3DCRT

The 2002 AIROPROS 0102 study was designed to investigate the correlation between clinical/dosimetric factors and the whole late rectal syndrome after radical ≥70 Gy 3DCRT for prostate cancer. The topic of this work is to analyze the occurrence of late incontinence (linc), which represents a relatively rare event but severely conditioning the patient's quality of life. 1132 patients (pts) (Jul02–Mar04) entered the study.
