Medical students' adjusted scores on the rectal/prostate station were 15% higher than dental students' scores.
Many remember learning about the one degree Fahrenheit estimated difference: rectal site temperatures are about one degree higher than oral which is about one degree higher than axillary sites.
Equation (2) was applied to compute the δ AUC 's (both for the C-DVH's and for the BED-DVH's) for each of the six matched-patient pairs in the rectal toxicity category and to each of the six matched-patient pairs in the bladder toxicity category.
Areas under the ROC curve have been reported to range from 0.65 to 0.77 in case series comprised of patients enrolled in screening trials [ 4 19 20 21 ] or followed in urologic practice [ 22 ] . Among urologic studies, we found only Labrie and colleagues reporting a substantially higher area under the ROC curve: 0.88 (SE 0.03) [ 23 ] . However, biopsies were performed only when digital rectal or transrectal ultrasound examinations were abnormal, which would inflate the apparent sensitivity of an elevated PSA level.
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.
