ABSTRACT

Radiation enteritis (RE) is one of the most severe and common complications of abdominal or pelvic tumor radiation therapy. The affected intestinal lesions are extensive, with complex pathological manifestations, severely affecting the quality of life of cancer patients after radiotherapy. However, currently there are few clinical drug treatment methods and the effects are not satisfactory, and the related basic research and new drug development are still unclear. This article reviews the relevant literature in recent years, summarizes and analyzes the pathological mechanisms, treatment strategies, and the understanding and treatment methods of radiation enteritis in Western medicine, in order to provide ideas and directions for the prevention and treatment strategies and drugs of radiation enteritis research.
