Radiofrequency ablation for the treatment of radiation proctitis.
BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS The main endoscopic therapy for radiation proctitis is argon plasma coagulation (APC); however treatment is not always successful. Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a possible treatment for radiation proctitis but data are scarce. The aim of this study was to report on the safety and efficacy of RFA in the treatment of radiation proctitis. PATIENTS AND METHODS This st...
متن کاملEffective treatment of chronic radiation proctitis using radiofrequency ablation.
Endoscopic argon plasma coagulation and bipolar electrocautery are currently preferred treatments for chronic radiation proctitis, but ulcerations and strictures frequently occur. Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) has been successful for mucosal ablation in the esophagus. Here we report the efficacy of RFA with the BarRx Halo(90) system in three patients with bleeding from chronic radiation proctit...
متن کاملInfliximab for refractory ulcerative proctitis.
BACKGROUND Efficacy of infliximab in treating ulcerative proctitis remains unknown. AIM To evaluate the clinical, biological and endoscopic efficacy of infliximab therapy in refractory proctitis. METHODS The charts of 420 patients treated with infliximab for ulcerative colitis were reviewed. Thirteen patients were treated with infliximab for refractory ulcerative proctitis in six referral c...
متن کاملTreatment of radiation proctitis with hyperbaric oxygen.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Radiation proctitis is a potential complication following pelvic radiation therapy. There are no standard treatments and treatment outcomes are unpredictable. We report our experience with the use of hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBOT) for radiation proctitis cases refractory to standard medical or laser therapy. PATIENTS AND METHODS During the period 2000-2004, 10 patie...
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...
