To compare the incidence of grade ≥2 gastrointestinal (GI) or genitourinary (GU) toxicity for patients undergoing 3DRT versus IMRT in the postoperative setting for endometrial cancer. Eligible patients were post-operatively randomly assigned to one of two parallel groups in a 1:1 ratio, to have their RT delivered using either a 3DRT technique or using IMRT. The prescription dose was 45 Gy in 25 fractions over 5 weeks followed by vaginal vault brachytherapy. Toxicity was graded according to National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version (v) 3.0. Fisher’s exact tests were used to test for associations between toxicity and arm. Differences in dosimetric parameters for patients with or without toxicity were tested using Mann–Whitney  U -tests. 84 patients with a median age of 62 were evaluable for primary outcome. The median follow-up was 52 months. 14 (35%) participants from the 3DRT arm and 15 (34%) from the IMRT arm experienced acute grade ≥2 GI toxicity with older patients having a statistically higher risk of grade ≥2 acute GI toxicity. 20 (50%) participants from the 3DRT arm and 25 (57%) from the IMRT arm experienced acute grade ≥2 GI or GU toxicity ( p  = .662). 12 (30%) patients from the 3DRT arm and 17 (39%) from the IMRT arm experienced acute grade ≥2 GU toxicity ( p  = .493). Although IMRT can reduce dose to normal tissue, in this study no benefit in acute GI or GU toxicity outcome was seen.
