Abstract

Radiotherapy is used as a component of therapy for a range of pelvic malignancies and can contribute to substantial toxicity. Preventative strategies including use of different treatment modalities, optimization of treatment technique and planning, and administration of various agents and radioprotectors should be considered to minimize risk of toxicity when possible.
