Aim: Late rectal toxicity (LRT) was retrospectively evaluated in men with prostate cancer treated with image-guided intensity modulated radiotherapy (IG-IMRT).
Patients And Methods: Between May 2008 and December 2009, 47 men with prostate adenocarcinoma were treated with IG-IMRT using in-room computed tomography (CT).
Results: The median time to grade 2 LRT was 12 months (range=1-24 months). Two of 3 men who developed grade 2 LRT had received treatment for diabetes, and the other was receiving anticoagulant/antiplatelet therapy (AC therapy). Their rectal wall V70 (the volume of rectal wall receiving 70 Gy) values were 12.6%, 13.0%, and 13.3%. Univariate analysis revealed that V70 of the rectal wall was the only significant risk factor for LRT (p=0.0073).
Conclusion: No man with V70 ≤12.0% experienced grade 2 LRT. Strict rectal wall V70 ≤12% dose constraints should be considered when treating prostate cancer patients who are also receiving diabetic or AC therapy.

An 11-year-old spayed female Beagle presented with tenesmus and was identified with a rectal wall mass. Diagnostic imaging (abdominal ultrasound and computed tomography) localised the mass in the right rectal wall and documented no evidence of metastatic disease. Subsequently, the dog underwent surgery for tumour excision.

Background And Study Aim: Local resection of early rectal cancer is being increasingly used. With invasion of the muscularis propria layer of the rectal wall, the risk of lymph node metastasis becomes too high to consider this the optimal oncological treatment. Therefore, a diagnosis of muscular invasion is important before attempting local resection; however, endoscopic and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images have limitations, such as overstaging (26-31%).

Background: This study aimed to evaluate the risk factors associated with rectal perforation during various surgical interventions for presacral cysts.
Methods: This retrospective study included 73 participants from 2013 to 2023 who met the inclusion criteria. Participants underwent surgical treatments through transabdominal, perineal, or combined approaches.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to quantify the intra- and interfraction motion of the target volume and organs at risk (OARs) during adaptive radiotherapy (ART) for uterine cervical cancer (UCC) using MR-Linac and to identify appropriate UCC target volume margins for adapt-to-shape (ATS) and adapt-to-position (ATP) workflows. Then, the dosimetric differences caused by motion were analyzed.
Methods: Thirty-two UCC patients were included.
