The aim of this report was to describe severe gastrointestinal and urinary fistula, bleeding and stricture events in the intErnational study on MRI-guided BRAchytherapy in locally Advanced CErvical cancer (EMBRACE), and relate them to FIGO stage and high-risk clinical target volume (CTV HR ). Material and Methods The EMBRACE study enrolled 1416 patients with LACC from 2008 to 2015. Treatment included radio(chemo)therapy and MR IGABT. Morbidity was prospectively assessed according to CTCAE v.3.0 every 3 months (1 st year), every 6 months (2 nd and 3 rd year) and yearly thereafter. Gastrointestinal and urinary fistulas, bleeding, and strictures grade 3-5 (severe events) were summarised as maximum grade per patient during follow-up (crude incidences). In addition, severe events were reported according to: 1) FIGO stage (I-II, III, IVA, IVB) and tested for differences with chi-square test or Fischer’s exact test, and 2) CTV HR volume at first brachytherapy fraction (divided into 3 groups by the 33.3 and 66.6 percentiles) and tested for differences with Spearman´s rank-order correlation. Results Overall, 1246 patients treated according to protocol and with available follow-up on late morbidity from 3 months onwards were included in the analysis. Median follow-up was 48 months (IQR 20-61). Table 1 shows crude incidences

Conclusion To our knowledge, this is the first time that visualization and quantification of bowel motility by a non-invasive 3D cine-MRI was shown feasible at time of radiotherapy. The variability of the bowel motion was high within and between patients. Additionally, the median bowel motility was significantly decreased after EBRT in almost all patients. This new tool can be used for future studies evaluating the clinical relevance of bowel motion during radiotherapy.
