Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Rectal toxicity is one of the primary dose-limiting side effects of prostate cancer radiotherapy, and consequential impairment on quality of life in these patients with long survival is an important problem. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the possibility of predicting rectal toxicity with artificial intelligence model which was including certain dosimetric parameters.
