Key points
•
Choice of endpoints
–
Strongly depends on research question:
•
Biological modelling: more specific
•
Clinical relevance: less specific
•
Relevance of endpoints not always acknowledged
–
e.g. rectal bleeding versus stool frequency
–
E.g. xerostomia versus dysphagia
•
Even grade I toxicity may have impact on QoL
