ABSTRACT
Radiation proctopathy represents the feared injury of rectum resulting from radiotherapy to pelvic malignancy. Interstitial fibrosis is the major histopathologic feature of chronic radiation proctopathy, whose symptoms may improve over time without any management. Treatment decisions should be based on the pattern and severity of symptoms and endoscopic findings. Non-surgical interventions are generally used to relieve major symptoms and prevent severe complications. Surgery is reserved for patients with refractory complications. Diverting stoma and restorative resection are suggested for selected patients to promote rehabilitation. Overall management should target on the improvement of patients′ long-term quality-of-life.
