Résumé

Several studies have focused on increasing the linear energy transfer (LET) within tumours to achieve higher biological effects in carbon-ion radiotherapy (C-ion RT). However, it remains unclear whether LET affects late complications. We assessed whether physical dose and LET distribution can be specific factors for late rectal complications in C-ion RT. Overall, 134 patients with uterine carcinomas were registered and retrospectively analysed. Of 134 patients, 132 who were followed up for >6 months were enrolled. The correlations between the relative biological effectiveness (RBE)-weighted dose based on the Kanai model (the ostensible "clinical dose"), dose-averaged LET (LETd), or physical dose and rectal complications were evaluated. Rectal complications were graded according to the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group/European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer criteria.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE
Several studies have focused on increasing the linear energy transfer (LET) within tumours to achieve higher biological effects in carbon-ion radiotherapy (C-ion RT). However, it remains unclear whether LET affects late complications. We assessed whether physical dose and LET distribution can be specific factors for late rectal complications in C-ion RT.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Overall, 134 patients with uterine carcinomas were registered and retrospectively analysed. Of 134 patients, 132 who were followed up for >6 months were enrolled. The correlations between the relative biological effectiveness (RBE)-weighted dose based on the Kanai model (the ostensible "clinical dose"), dose-averaged LET (LETd), or physical dose and rectal complications were evaluated. Rectal complications were graded according to the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group/European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer criteria.
RESULTS
Nine patients developed grade 3 or 4 late rectal complications. Linear regression analysis found that D
CONCLUSION
We demonstrated that severe rectal toxicities were related to the rectal D
