Thus, while the results are encouraging for the correlation of BED-DVH's to rectal toxicity, the correlation to bladder toxicity using the integral dose/AUC endpoint did not reach statistical significance, likely due to the limitations in sample size.
Because the AUC and V60 are dosimetric endpoints used routinely for the evaluation of radiation treatment plans, this analysis suggests that BED-DVH's for the rectum and bladder correlate better with late toxicity than C-DVH's and should be considered when attempting to minimize late GI and GU toxicity after radiotherapy for prostate cancer.
As one means of avoiding the statistical problems posed by evaluating late toxicity, analyzing early grade 3/4 toxicity, which has a higher incidence, may allow for greater statistical power in validating the BED-DVH concept.
As expected, the DVH's (both C-DVH's and BED-DVH's) were predictive of rectal and urinary toxicity - that is, those that developed late GI or GU toxicity had DVH's that demonstrated more integral dose to the rectum or bladder than those patients who did not develop such toxicity.
However, because the integral dose/AUC analysis did reach significance for the rectum, and because the V60 analysis did reach statistical significance for both the bladder and rectum, the results of the current investigation represent initial success with the application of the BED-DVH concept.
