Comparative StudyA modified inflammatory bowel disease questionnaire and the Vaizey Incontinence questionnaire are more sensitive measures of acute gastrointestinal toxicity during pelvic radiotherapy than RTOG grading.
Simple scales with greater sensitivity than Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG) grading to detect acute gastrointestinal toxicity during pelvic radiotherapy, could be clinically useful. ⋯ The IBDQ and Vaizey questionnaires are reliable and sensitive, offering greater insight into the severity and range of symptoms compared with RTOG grading.

An estimation of radiobiologic parameters from clinical outcomes for radiation treatment planning of brain tumor.
To estimate a plausible set of radiobiologic parameters such as alpha, alpha/beta values, from clinical outcomes for biologically based radiation treatment planning of brain tumors. ⋯ A plausible set of radiobiologic parameters for gliomas was estimated based on clinical data. These parameters can reasonably predict most of the clinical results. They may be used to design new treatment fractionation schemes and to evaluate and optimize treatment plans.
