Table 3 There were 10 patients (58.82%) with III–IV degree myelosuppression in the extended-field group and 3 patients (17.65%) with III–IV degree myelosuppression in the pelvic-field group; the difference was statistically significant (P=0.0324). There were no significant differences between the 2 groups in the occurrence of radiation enteritis and radiation cystitis.
