Extended‐field radiotherapy showed no clear difference in adverse events compared with pelvic radiotherapy (moderate certainty).
Extended‐field radiotherapy showed no clear difference in late adverse events compared with pelvic chemoradiotherapy (moderate certainty).
Extended‐field radiotherapy probably leads to lower acute adverse events compared with pelvic chemoradiotherapy (moderate certainty).
It is very uncertain whether extended‐field chemoradiotherapy changes late adverse events compared with pelvic chemoradiotherapy (very low certainty).
