Retention | 2.2 | 1.1–3.8 | 12/551 | 8.7 | 6.5–11.4 | 48/551 |
Urinary stricture | 0.5 | 0.1–1.6 | 3/551 |
CI = confidence interval; GI = gastrointestinal; GU = genitourinary.
Acute urinary stricture was not measured. Fifty-six patients had any grade 2 GU acute toxicity, but one of these patients also had Grade 3 toxicity. Therefore, 55 patients had a maximum grade of 2. Twenty patients had any grade 2 GI late toxicity, but one of these patients also had grade 3 toxicity. Therefore, 19 patients had a maximum grade of 2.
