“…21 Therefore, many efforts are made to spare the organs at risk by using internal and external immobilization devices. 7,8,17,22 The application of an endorectal balloon with 40-ml air filling spares the rectal and anal wall during 3D-CRT 7,22,23 leading to reduced acute and late gastrointestinal toxicity rates. According to these data, our patients followed a validated bladder and rectal filling protocol.…”
