External Beam Therapy in a Four-Field Box Technique with Paclitaxel versus a Two-Field Technique with Cisplatin in Locally Advanced Carcinoma Cervix: A Phase II Monocentric Trial

Table 4

Complications of the lower gastrointestinal system.

Lower gastrointestinal toxicity	Arm I	Arm II
Number of patients with G0 toxicity	7 (46%)	12 (63%)
Number of patients with >G0 toxicity	9 (54%)	7 (37%)

Chi square value yielded a P value 0.016 (<0.05) which indicates that the proportion of patients developing the lower gastrointestinal complication is significantly less in arm II.
