Overview

Radiation enteropathy or radiation enteritis is the syndrome that develops after the intestine is exposed to radiation.

Causes

  • Radiation therapy uses high-powered x-rays, particles, or radioactive seeds to kill cancer cells.
  • Along with the cancer cells, radiation therapy may also damage cells that make up the lining of the intestines.
