Resumo

To the Editor: We thank the authors for their concise comments regarding our recent article ( 1 Güngör G. Aydın G. Özyar E. In Regard to Wortel et al. Int J Radiat Oncol Biol Phys. 2018; 100: 1291 Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF Scopus (1) Google Scholar , 2 Wortel R.C. Heemsbergen W.D. Smeenk R.J. et al. Local protocol variations for image guided radiation therapy in the multicenter Dutch hypofractionation (HYPRO) trial: Impact of rectal balloon and MRI delineation on anorectal dose and gastrointestinal toxicity levels.

With respect to the presented average relative dose–surface histograms of the anorectum, they argue that absolute parameters should have been used instead, because: (1) this would be a more valid comparison between the centers; and (2) this would have superior correlations with toxicity according literature.
