Before treatment, all patients had a paradoxical contraction of the external anal sphincter at defecation attempts as demonstrated with electromyography and/or anorectal manometry.

متن کاملRectal dose to prostate cancer patients treated with proton therapy with or without rectal spacer
The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether a spacer inserted in the prerectal space could reduce modeled rectal dose and toxicity rates for patients with prostate cancer treated in silico with pencil beam scanning (PBS) proton therapy. A total of 20 patients were included in this study who received photon therapy (12 with rectal spacer (DuraSeal™ gel) and 8 without). Two PBS treatment pl...
