BONE MARROW SUPPRESSION
During the radiotherapy, 17 patients experienced Grade 1 bone marrow suppression, 16 ones Grade 2 bone marrow suppression, and 7 ones Grade 3 bone marrow suppression in the night group so that their incidence of Grade 2 and Grade 3 bone marrow suppression was 39.0% (16/41) and 17.1% (7/41), respectively; while 15 ones Grade 1 bone marrow suppression, 13 ones Grade 2 bone marrow suppression, and 11 ones Grade 3 bone marrow suppression in the day group, so that their incidence of Grade 2 and Grade 3 bone marrow suppression was 31.7% (13/41) and 26.8% (11/41), respectively. There was no statistical significance in the incidence difference of Grade 2 and 3 bone marrow suppression between the two groups (χOnset of bone marrow suppression in the two groups during radiotherapy (The mean weight loss after radiotherapy was 6.38 ± 2.85 kg and 5.53 ± 2.40 kg in the night group and day group, respectively. There was no statistical significance in the difference in such mean weight loss between the two groups (
