Abstract

The purpose of this study was to analyze dosimetric factors of radiation-induced severe bowel complications among patients with cervical cancer. We reviewed 297 patients of stage IB-IVA cervical cancer managed by curative-intent radiotherapy from May 1993 through December 1997. Whole-pelvic irradiation of external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) (34.2-48.6 Gy/19-27 fractions) was delivered to all patients. Two hundred and three patients received additional bilateral parametrial boost (3.6-18 Gy/2-10 fractions). High dose-rate (HDR) intracavitary brachytherapy (ICBT), 16-24 Gy/5 fractions to Point A, was given after external irradiation. Cumulative rectal biologically effective dose (CRBED) at rectal reference point was determined by summation of EBRT and ICBT component. The 5-year incidences of Grade 3-4 enterocolitis and proctitis were 10% and 7%, respectively. Both complications were associated with external parametrial dose (PMD) and CRBED. Interaction of CRBED and PMD was noted in multivariate analysis of enterocolitis (P < 0.001) and proctitis (P < 0.001). In CRBED > or = 100 Gy(3) group, PMD was an independent factor in enterocolitis (P = 0.010) and proctitis (P = 0.039). In PMD > or = 54 Gy group, CRBED was an independent ...Continue Reading
