Mean dose ± SD (Gy), Range (Gy)

 

Small bowel

6.0 ± 5.2 (0.6 - 20.0) vs. 5.8 ± 5.9 (0.4 – 23.2); p = 0.85

total bowel

Bladder

The research was funded by grants from the Central Norway Regional Health Authority, St. Olavs University Hospital and Sør-Trøndelag University College.

The authors owe the particular thanks to the participating patients and the staff at the departments of radiotherapy at St. Olavs University Hospital and Ålesund Hospital

measurements of setup errors were made in only 43 % of the fractions, which may represent a sampling bias

block randomisation
no blinding
relatively large number of participants

 

"The patient positioning in RT of rectal cancer patients may therefore be decided based on other factors such as the most comfortable position for the patients."
