“…Late bowel toxicity manifests as diarrhea, bowel stricture, perforation, or hemorrhage and may also be irreversible. The tolerance dose, which is defined as the bowel dose that gives a 5% risk of late toxicity at 5 years, is estimated to be around 45-50 Gy [82], and irradiation of larger volumes is associated with increased toxicity [83]. When patients with lung cancer are treated with Exploit the postradiation enhancement of radiation effect by AA.…”

“…There are many published dosimetric studies with IMRT for rectal cancer. Most of them showed benefits in small bowel sparing [29,30]. Presently, the CTV includes the entire rectum from the anus to the recto-sigmoid junction, with a circumferential expansion as large as 3 cm [31], as well as the mesorectal space and the pelvic nodal volume up to level of the common iliacs (L5-S1 junction).…”

“…Asimismo, la prolongación o suspensión del tratamiento ocasionada por estos síntomas incrementa el riesgo de obtener resultados subóptimos en el control de la enfermedad y en la esperanza y la calidad de vida 8 . Se han desarrollado múltiples intervenciones relacionadas con la modificación de aspectos técnicos del tratamiento para disminuir la toxicidad gastrointestinal por teleterapia durante las últimas décadas; sin embargo, permanece como el principal efecto adverso en estas pacientes, y estas medidas no pueden ser empleadas en todos los centros debido a los requerimientos técnicos y económicos que implican [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] . En cuanto a las diferentes intervenciones dietéticas evaluadas, no se ha corroborado su efectividad de manera concluyente a pesar de que son una opción de fácil acceso e implementación, por lo que se pueden utilizar en todos los centros de atención, solas o en combinación con las demás medidas para la disminución de esta toxicidad [17][18][19][20] .…”
