Developing a multivariable normal tissue complication probability model to predict late rectal bleeding following intensity-modulated radiation therapy

Conclusions: A LASSO-based multivariable NTCP model comprising three important predictors (platelet count, risk group and V65) was established to predict the incidence of grade 2+ late rectal bleeding after IMRT.
