Newer treatment methods are used, when possible, to avoid or decrease the chance of radiation enteritis. These methods include:
*Adjusting how much radiation is given during any one treatment session, so that lower amounts are delivered more evenly or higher amounts are delivered to specific areas
*Having a full bladder during treatments
*Placing special clips surgically around the area needing radiation. This helps the radiation doctor focus on the treatment area.

Overview

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

Prevention

Newer treatment methods are used, when possible, to avoid or decrease the chance of radiation enteritis. These methods include:

  • Adjusting how much radiation is given during any one treatment session, so that lower amounts are delivered more evenly or higher amounts are delivered to specific areas
  • Having a full bladder during treatments
  • Placing special clips surgically around the area needing radiation. This helps the radiation doctor focus on the treatment area.
