Treatment of radiation proctitis with hyperbaric oxygen
Radiotherapy and Oncology, 2006 Radiation proctitis is a potential complication following pelvic radiation therapy. There are no standard treatments and treatment outcomes are unpredictable. We report our experience with the use of hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBOT) for radiation proctitis cases refractory to standard medical or laser therapy.During the period 2000-2004, 10 patients ...

Management of Radiation Proctitis
Digestive Diseases and Sciences, 2018Radiation proctitis is radiation-induced rectal mucositis, occurring as a result of radiation therapy for various pelvic malignancies. The management of radiation proctitis is challenging as guidelines are not currently available, and studies of the various treatment modalities are limited.

Treatment of chronic radiation proctitis with cryoablation
Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, 2011Chronic radiation proctitis (CRP) is a common problem in patients receiving pelvic radiation. Current therapies have the potential for deep tissue injury with ulcerations, perforation, and fistula formation. Cryospray ablation therapy offers superficial ablation of mucosa and is a potential method to endoscopically treat CRP safely and effectively.To ...

Hyperbaric oxygen treatment for radiation proctitis
International Journal of Radiation Oncology Biology Physics, 1997Our objective was to assess, retrospectively, the efficacy of hyperbaric oxygen treatment in radiation proctitis in all patients who have completed treatment for this disease at the Fremantle Hyperbaric Oxygen Unit. This unit is the only one of its kind in Western Australia.Patients were assessed by a review of hospital records, blood bank records, and

Management of Radiation Proctitis
American Journal of Clinical Oncology, 2014The optimal management of radiation proctitis is ill defined. A variety of alternatives are available and include topical agents (ie, sucralfate enemas, formalin), oral agents (ie, pentoxyfylline, vitamin A), hyperbaric oxygen, and endoscopic interventions (ie, argon plasma coagulation).

Treatment of Radiation Proctitis
Clinical Oncology, 2007Late complications of pelvic radiotherapy occur in 5-20% of patients, particularly chronic radiation proctitis (CRP). Rectal bleeding is the most common symptom. Other symptoms include difficulty in defaecation or tenesmus because of loss of distensibility of the rectum or rectal structuring.

Current Treatment Options in Gastroenterology, 1999
The incidence of chronic, radiation-induced proctitis is between 2% and 5 %. There is not a direct relationship between the incidence of acute radiation proctitis and the subsequent development of chronic proctitis. The treatment for this condition should proceed in a step-wise fashion from conservative therapy such as antidiarrhea medication, topical ...
