172P The TASK study, tele-support to improve adherence and symptom knowledge: A prospective intervention to sustain quality of life for cancer patients in a conflict-affected setting
grade 2 vulvovaginitis.A statistically significant association was observed between obesity and the incidence of acute radiodermatitis (p<0.001),enteritis (p<0.0001), and cystitis (p 0.006).Subgroup analysis of obese patients revealed a significant increase in acute enteritis in cases of lymph node dissection (p 0.049), associated chemotherapy (p 0.005), and in the presence of other comorbidities (p 0.003).Acute radiodermatitis was also significantly increased in cases where chemotherapy was added (p 0.0002).Age, tumor stage, and dose received were not significantly associated with toxicities. Conclusions:The results of our study highlight the negative impact of obesity on tolerance to pelvic radiotherapy in these patients, which is consistent with the literature.
