☢️ A More Stringent Hematologic Toxicity Control for Hypofractionated
Cervical Cancer Concurrent Chemoradiation via CT- and MRI-based
Bone Marrow Dosimetry: Pooled Analysis from HYPOCx-iRex and
Single-Institute EMBRACE-II Studies
🔗 advancesradonc.org/article/S…
👉🏻This study pooled data from EMBRACE-II (without BM-sparing) and HYPOCx-iRex (with BM-sparing) to: (1) identify dosimetric constraints for HemTox mitigation, particularly for the HYPO 44 Gy/20F regimen; and (2) compare CT- versus MRI-based BM dose correlations with HemTox as practical surrogates for active marrow sparing.
