Incidence of radiation enteritis in cervical cancer patients treated with definitive radiotherapy versus adjuvant radiotherapy

Abstract

The incidence of both early and late radiation enteritis in the definitive RT group is higher than in the adjuvant RT group. The occurrence of side effects was associated with the prolongation of total irradiation time due to necessary interruptions of RT. Methods to decrease the interruptions in the RT and the irradiated volume of the small bowel will further lessen enteric morbidity.

Outcomes of icotinib combined with concurrent chemoradiotherapy in locally advanced cervical cancer

“…The safety of patients is a problem we cannot ignore forever. Diarrhea and myelosuppression are the most common complications of pelvic radiotherapy [29][30][31], and diarrhea is also one of the common adverse effects of icotinib [32]. In the current study, the incidence of diarrhea and myelosuppression above grade 3 were 27.59% and 31.03%, respectively, which were similar to the previous results.…”

Clinical study of acute toxicity of pelvic bone marrow-sparing intensity-modulated radiotherapy for cervical cancer

“…This negatively affects the prognosis. Therefore, to reduce toxicity in the blood and ensure completion of the planned concurrent radiochemotherapy, it is necessary to study how to reduce the irradiation volume of the hematopoietic bone marrow [4,[13][14][15][16].…”

Primary or adjuvant chemoradiotherapy for cervical cancer with intraoperative lymph node metastasis – A review

“…Results from the present review cannot confirm this, apart from the higher proportion of lower extremity lymphoedema after RHRT. Other retrospective studies comparing PRT and RHRT, irrespective of intraoperative lymph node status, reported inconclusive results on morbidity [29][30][31][32][33]. Landoni et al [4] published an update of the only randomised controlled trial on this topic with at least 19 years of follow-up.…”
