Abstract
84 Background: Rectal dose-volume histogram (DVH) parameters and a consensus normal tissue complication probability (NTCP) model predict physician scored toxicity but have not been well studied for patient reported outcomes (PRO) following external beam RT for prostate cancer. Methods: PRO were prospectively collected at baseline and 12 month intervals by expanded prostate cancer index composite (EPIC) for 98 patients from 2004-2009. Linear...
