Curcumin reduced radiation dermatitis severity and presence of moist desquamation. Panel A: Line graph plotting the mean RDS scores by week of RT for curcumin and placebo arms. The two arms are similar for week 1 to week 4, but then diverge from week 5 to week 7. Panel B: Standard pooled variances t test showed that the curcumin arm had significantly lower RDS scores at the end of RT compared to the placebo. Repeated measures analyses demonstrated that the Arm*Week interaction and the total Arm effect (Arm + Arm*Week) were highly significant. Panel C: Fisher’s exact test showed that fewer patients in the curcumin arm had the presence of moist desquamation at the end of RT compared to the placebo arm.
