A relationship between several late anorectal dysfunctions and dose-volume parameters from the rectum and anal canal volume was demonstrated. It is recommended to exclude the anal canal volume from the high dose-volume and to apply rectal shielding whenever possible to prevent late anorectal dysfunctions.
