Please select the option that best describes you:

Would you offer palliative re-irradiation to the sacrum for a patient with a prior history of RT for rectal cancer?   

The patient has disease in the S2/S3 region with an anterior soft tissue mass.

The patient previously received 50.4 Gy with treatment for rectal cancer 5 years ago, and is already having numbness/paresthesias from recurrence. 

If you would re-treat, what would be your preferred dose/fractionation scheme, and why?
