Besides the reaction during actinotherapy, there are so-called early and/or late sequels. If conservative therapy remains unsuccessful, surgical treatment often has to be performed. Primary indication has to comply with the symptoms, Side effects in the rectum and signs may be treated for a longer period by means of conservative therapy than those in the small intestine, which often triggers an ileus or malabsorption syndrome. The Stewart-Treves syndrome is discussed in lymphatic edema.
