Radai tion pelvicopathy:a comprehensive and interdiscipli-nary approach / 医学研究生学报

ABSTRACT

Radiotherapy is frequently employed as part of the multimodal treatment of cancers.Despite recent advances in ir-radiation techniques, radiation-induced side effects are more common.Radiation enteritis is a term traditionally used to define injury to the small intestine resulting from radiotherapy.The radiotherapy could induce damage of pelvic normal tissue.The most patients with radiation enteritits may also have co-existing radiation-induced damage of pelvic other tissue or organ.The radiation enteritis was man-aged, however, the therapy of pelvic damaged tissue or organ were ignored.Therefore, in 2015, we proposed the concept of radiation pelvicopathy which is most accurate description of the disease process and pathological characteristics.The purpose is to emphasize the interdisciplinary approach of pelvic radiation damage.
