Introduction• Radiation therapy with conventional technique leads to a acute and 

chronic gastrointestinal (GI) toxicity of >20-30% and > 5-10%  respectively• Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy (IMRT) has shown to reduce both 

acute and chronic GI toxicity with good clinical outcome • We earlier reported1 results of our prospective randomized study 

comparing conventional pelvic radiotherapy (CRT) to Intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT)

•  In our study reported earlier1 ,IMRT arm had significantly fewer acute ≥ Grade 2 GI toxicity (31.8% vs. 63.6%) , ≥ Grade 3 GI toxicity (4.5% vs. 27.3%) as well as lesser chronic gastrointestinal toxicity (13.6% vs. 50%)

Aims & Statistical Analysis• The purpose of this study is to correlate reported acute and 

chronic GI toxicity in our study with Dosimetric parameters.• Acute GI Toxicity: Assessed from start of treatment till 3 

months of completion of treatment as per CTCAE (Version 3.0) 

• Chronic GI toxicity : Assessed from 6 months after the completion of Brachytherapy until the last follow-up visit as per RTOG late morbidity scoring criteria

• Volume of rectum and small bowel (SB) receiving 40% (V40), 90% (V90) and 100% (V100) of the prescription dose and Volume of SB receiving ≥ 45 Gray (V45) were noted. Bowel loops were contoured as peritoneal cavity and not individually.

• Mean V90 and V100 of SB in CRT and IMRT arm was 417.54 vs. 194.85 ml and 102.47 vs. 336.22 ml respectively. 

• V90, V100 and V45 >180 cc of SB correlated with acute GI toxicity (p=0.04, p=0.031 and p= 0.036) but not with chronic GI toxicity. 

• Volume of the rectum did not correlate significantly with either acute or chronic gastrointestinal toxicity.

Conclusion

• IMRT in locally advanced carcinoma cervix (LACC) leads to significantly lesser  acute and chronic GI toxicities as compared to Conventional radiotherapy .

• V90, V100 and V45 >180 cc of SB significantly correlates with acute gastrointestinal toxicity in patients of locally advanced carcinoma cervix treated with IMRT and should be used in prospective clinical trials. 

• Further follow up is required for assessment of clinic-dosimetric correlation of chronic gastrointestinal toxicity.
