Interesting intra-patient randomized controlled trial design in #IJROBP: film vs gel for reducing radiation dermatitis, with one on each side of the same chest wall radiation area. #OncSky #bcsm #RadOnc @ijrobp.bsky.social www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
Proportion of acute radiation dermatitis grades (ARD) over time for StrataXRT and Mepitel Film in designated rectangles. This stacked bar graph illustrates the progression of ARD grades over a 10-week period with StrataXRT (S) and Mepitel Film (M). Each bar corresponds to a single week, with the proportions of patients at each ARD grade represented by color-coded segments: grade 0 in blue, grade 1 in red, grade 2 in green, and grade 3 in orange. The percentages labelled within each segment reflect the proportion of patients experiencing each ARD grade during that specific week.
