“…Gastrointestinal symptoms induced by pelvic radiotherapy can cause morbidity and distress in the acute phase during treatment and can also develop into a chronic, intractable form months or years after the cessation of treatment (Denton et al, 2002). Increasingly, patients are being treated successfully and curatively (UKCCCR Anal Cancer Trial Working Party, 1996).…”

“…Diversas medidas têm sido utilizadas, incluindo a terapia oral (derivados do ácido salicílico -5-aSa), terapias de instilação retal (corticosteroides, sucralfato ou 5-aSa), tratamento tér-mico (eletrocoagulação bipolar ou laser) e oxigenoterapia hiperbárica 5,7,[8][9][10][11][13][14][15]19 . Porém, a maioria das opções permite somente o controle das formas leves da doença (grau i e ii) 3,12,15,16,23 , não se mostrando eficazes em casos mais graves (grau iii) e refratários 3,4,6,7,11,15,23 .…”

“…o sangramento pode ser mínimo ou, em alguns casos, maciço, determinando a retite actínica hemorrágica (raH), que é geralmente grave, implicando em repetidas transfusões e internação hospitalar [2][3][4][5]11,13,[15][16][17][18] , constituindo um grande desafio terapêutico 3,4,9,11,15 . o tratamento da raH ainda é controverso, com diferentes 1,6,7,11 modalidades disponíveis, sendo 5,7,8,13,14,19 difícil indicar ou escolher qualquer terapia baseada em evidências 5,7,8,14,19 , devido à ausência de ensaios clínicos randomizados e controlados 7,8,19 . Neste contexto, uma boa opção terapêutica é a aplicação de formalina, método simples, barato, disponível em todos os hospitais [1][2][3][4]6,7,9,10,13,15,17 e eficaz tanto como primeira opção terapêutica 6,9,…”

“…Although there is no evidence of endoscopic efficacy, patients feel a subjective improvement of symptoms (9,10). Short-chain fatty acids can also be used because of their trophic effect on the rectal mucosa, but only some studies have demonstrated a decreased number of bleeding episodes and improved endoscopic changes (9). Another option is oral metronidazole and enemas with betamethasone and mesalazine, as this combination has demonstrated a significant reduction in the incidence of rectal bleeding, ulcers, diarrhoea, and erythema (10).…”
