Abstract
To establish dose-response relationships for late complications, three-dimensional imaging and dose-volume histogram parameters are needed. We found some indications that 20 Gy/wk is an upper tolerance level when the dose to the International Commission on Radiation Units and Measurements rectum point is 81 Gyα/β=3 (isoeffective [equivalent] dose of 2-Gy fractions). However, additional investigations using three-dimensional data are needed.
