Gastrointestinal (GI) and genitourinary (GU) events were graded using the RTOG acute morbidity scoring criteria. GI events include diarrhea, rectal bleeding, and rectal pain. GU events include urinary frequency/urgency and dysuria. Urinary retention is not included in the RTOG acute GU morbidity scoring criteria and therefore is listed separately.
