Abstract: Erratum for
A systematic review comparing radiation toxicity after various endorectal techniques. [Brachytherapy. 2019]
The authors regret to rectify the below mentioned errors that were noted in their published article. On page 83, in the last sentence in the first complete paragraph: the authors would like to add the phrase "in the 8 Gy group" to the end of the sentence "The dose limiting-toxicity was set at 7 Gy after 3 of 10 patients (30%)experienced acute Grade 3 radiation proctitis" In Table 1 in the column "RT Dose (Gy)" for Rijkmans et al 2017 (46)it says "EBRT (39 Gy/13 fx)+ HDR BT (5-8 Gy / 1 fx)". The "1 fx" at the end should be "3 fx." The new statement should read " EBRT (39 Gy/13 fx)+ HDR BT (5-8 Gy / 3 fx)". The same typing error was made in Supplemental Table 2 in the column "RT Dose (Gy)" for Rijkmans et al 2017 (46)where it says "EBRT (39 Gy/13 fx)+ HDR BT (5-8 Gy / 1 fr)". The "1 fr" at the end should be "3 fx." The new statement should read " EBRT (39 Gy/13 fx)+ HDR BT (5-8 Gy / 3 fx)". Also, in the next column the calculation for Rijkmans et al was made for 1 fraction brachytherapy dose instead of 3 fractions, and the corrected calculation should therefore read: "47 Gy + (24 - 54 Gy boost)= 71 - 100 Gy.<br/>Copyright © 2019 American Brachytherapy Society
