Grade III diarrhea occurred in nine patients (10.5%), while only one patient had grade 3 thrombocytopenia. Grade II or III proctitis were seen in nine (10.5 %) subjects and grade I or II cystitis in six (6.9%). Only three patients (3.3%) developed hand and foot syndrome (both grade I–II). There were no grade IV toxicities.
