Despite recent advances to conform the dose distribution to the tumor volume, it is still impossible to perform radiotherapy based on the biological characteristics of each individual. In this case, identifying a biomarker can be a step toward personalizing treatment. This research was carried out to evaluate the predictive value of dose-volume parameters and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression on rectal proctitis toxicity in prostate cancer patients.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Materials and Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Eighteen patients with prostate cancer who underwent helical tomotherapy were included in the study. VEGF serum level before and after treatment was obtained. Furthermore, dosimetric parameters, including rectal volume, maximum dose, V50, V60, V65, V70, and V75 were extracted.
