Popis:	The objective of this study was to characterize the dose-volume relationship of small bowel toxicity during prostate radiation therapy in a homogenous Veterans Affairs population using modern IMRT/VMAT radiation techniques. All records of patients receiving radiation therapy for prostate cancer at the Veterans Affairs Long Beach Hospital between 2009 and 2011 were analyzed (n = 73). Peritoneal space contents were contoured on each slice of the planning CT scan. A median dose of 75.6 Gy was delivered with either intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) or volumetric-modulated arc therapy (VMAT). The small bowel constraint used was V45
