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.
Then, in a process similar to that for the C-DVH's, the BED-DVH's derived from each of the individual dose distributions were averaged over the six patients in each of the four groups (grade 0 - rectal, grade 3 - rectal, grade 0 - bladder, and grade 3 - bladder) to produce average BED-DVH's.
This allowed for the construction of the BED-DVH's for all of the patients.
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.
This table demonstrates a p-value of 0.021 for the rectal toxicity comparison, and a p-value of 0.021 for the bladder toxicity comparison, suggesting that [when using V60 as the measure of merit] the BED-DVH's were significantly better-correlated (than the corresponding C-DVH's) with rectal toxicity and with bladder toxicity.
