Many of these patients are managed with rectal medications which are often inadequate for control. Argon plasma coagulation (APC) has been well described for its efficacy in treating radiation proctitis. Here we present two cases in whom APC therapy...

متن کاملArgon beam coagulation for treatment of symptomatic radiation-induced proctitis.
BACKGROUND Radiation proctitis is a complication of radiotherapy for malignant pelvic disease. Argon beam coagulation is a new and rapidly evolving technology that permits a "no-touch" electrocoagulation of diseased tissue. METHODS We analyzed retrospectively the records of 7 patients with prostatic and endometrial cancers treated with irrradiation (median radiation dose was 6840 cGy, range 2...
