                      Acute skin toxicity was less   were similar between groups  Age≤65 years (p<0.010), cT1  – 2 stage (p=0.004), and bIRT   improved OS.  of mortality. DMFS was better in the bIRT   group (p=0.015)  with a low rate of stoma   formation  for LC (p=0.042);  reduced CRLR (p=0.004) and   increased OS (p=0.012).  significantly associated with OS. N stage was the only significant   Higher LC was associated with: (i)  lymph node involvement   (p=0.03),  (ii)
                 Main results  common in the IRT boost group,  but long-term morbidity and QoL   (p=0.015) were associated with   Tumor stage cT3 – 4 (p=0.004)  and age>65 years (p=0.001) were  associated with an increased risk   EBRT-CHT+bIRT was associated   In N1, bIRT was a prognostic factor   OTT ≤78 days was associated with   N stage and OTT (≤78 days) were   prognostic factor for CFS (p=0.0001)
