B. Percentage of prescribed dose received (median values) in six plans by 2 cc rectum, sigmoid colon and urinary bladder in our study and commonly used HDR dose fractionations that will permit the same percentage dose to 2 cc OAR as shown in Table 4A

Applicator and optimization used CTV Rectum Sigmoid colon Urinary bladder
