Abstract
Purpose: to investigate the role of selective avoidance of hematopoietically active BM within the pelvis, as defined with 18FDG-PET, employing a targeted IMRT approach, to reduce acute hematologic toxicity (HT) profile in anal cancer patients undergoing concurrent chemo-radiation. Methods: a one-armed two-stage Simon’s design was selected to test the hypothesis that BM-sparing approach would improve by 20% the rate of G0–G2 (vs. G3–G4) HT, from...
