Radiation-induced Diarrhoea During Curative EBRT of Prostate and Rectal Cancer

Frequency and Classification of Radiation-induced Diarrhoea in Patients With Prostate and Rectal Cancer During Curative External Radiotherapy

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 24 Jan 2025

Brief summary (registry, in English)

Approx. 80% of patients with prostate and rectal cancer who receive radiation therapy (RT) experience acute radiation-induced diarrhea (RID). RID has major impact on patients' quality of life, can lead to pause or early termination of RT and chronic diarrhea. RID is poorly described with few details of type and severity of RID in clinical practice and in the literature. We are conducting an observational study in patients in patients who receive curative EBRT radiation for prostate and rectal cancer to uncover the frequency and classifications of RID.
