Acute toxicity of postoperative intensity-modulated radiotherapy and three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy for cervical cancer: The role of concomitant chemotherapy.

CONCLUSION: IMRT is associated with lower acute toxicity and better dosimetric parameters in organs at risk (OAR) compared to 3DCRT. Higher hematological toxicity occurred when concomitant chemotherapy was performed, regardless of RT technique. Further reduction of toxicity is expected with protocol and technical improvement and research of gene-related toxicity. PMID: 31983105 [PubMed - in process]
