Radiation Injuries Clinical Trial
Official title:
Comparison Between Two Different Parameters of Argon Plasma Coagulation in the Treatment of Chronic Radiation Proctitis: Historical Control Trial.
There is a wide variability of options for treatment of chronic radiation proctitis.
However, studies are still limited, usually case reports from a single center and few are
comparative studies between methods. Therefore, the choice of treatment is determined by
availability and local expertise for each method. The variability of treatment options range
from anti-inflammatory medical treatment, sucralfate, short chain fatty acids, antioxidants
and hyperbaric oxygen to such endoscopic and surgical treatments. Surgery is usually the
last therapeutic option due to the high morbidity and mortalityassociated. Various
endoscopic treatment modalities have been reported. Formalin topic is effective in up to 48%
of patients with chronic radiation proctitis.
The endoscopic treatment with argon plasma (APC) is low cost, easy to apply and
transportation, safe and effective in the treatment of rectal bleeding in patients with
chronic radiation proctitis. Currently, the APC is the preferred endoscopic modality.
Most studies on the use of APC in radiation proctitis showed benefit. The APC controls the
mild to moderate rectal bleeding in 80% to 90% of cases and improves symptoms of urgency,
diarrhea and tenesmus in 60% to 75% of cases.
APC is usually applied with a power of 40-60W and 1.2-2.5 L/min of gas flow by using a
electrosugical generator coupled with an argon delivery unit. However, high gas flow have
been associated to high rates of complication such as rectal stenosis and deep rectal ulcer.
In this context, the present study aims to compare the effectiveness and safety between two
different paramenters of argon plasma coagulation (40-50W and 2.0 L/min of gas flow vs 40W
and 1.2 L/min of gas flow) in the treatment of patients with symptomatic chronic radiation
proctitis.
