Sexual symptoms-related cross-correlation matrix of Spearman’s correlation coefficients (ρ). Upper triangle; ρ values with insignificant correlation (p ≤ 0.05) marked with an X. Lower triangle; colour coded coefficients. S (x) = prostatic sector number ‘x’. Foci base = γH2AX/53BP1 foci count at baseline (pre-treatment (t = 0 h)). Foci R t = ratio of foci count at time point t relative to baseline (0 h). EPIC (x) = change in EPIC score from baseline; positive values reflecting improvement, negative values deterioration and 0 no change. * For space consideration all ρ values are presented as percentages
