- Retrospective. 81 patients treated with concurrent chemo-RT for cervical cancer. DVHs of bone marrow in pelvic field evaluated
- Outcome: V10 <95% and V20 <76% correlated with lower acute G3+ hematologic toxicity. V10 (25% vs 69%, SS) and V20 (22% vs 58%, SS)
- Conclusion: Acute hematologic toxicity increases with increasing pelvic bone marrow volume irradiated
