This trial tests whether giving an enema (a liquid medicine inserted into the rectum) called Bergmann can help prevent rectal injury caused by radiation therapy in patients with rectal cancer. If you are about to start short-course radiation, this treatment might reduce side effects like pain or bleeding.
This study tests whether adding a medicine called rifaximin can help prevent diarrhea caused by radiation therapy for pelvic cancers. It may help you avoid a common and uncomfortable side effect during your cancer treatment.
This study tests a traditional Chinese medicine formula called 'Jianzhong Qushi' to see if it can ease the bowel problems caused by pelvic radiation therapy. If you have bothersome symptoms like rectal bleeding, bloating, or urgent bowel movements that started after radiation and haven't fully gone away, this may offer a new treatment option.
This trial tests an oral probiotic (a mix of 5 good bacteria) to see if it can reduce stomach and bowel side effects from pelvic radiation. It may help people undergoing radiation for certain pelvic cancers.
This study looks at how a hormone called GLP-2 (which helps protect the gut) changes during radiation therapy to the belly or pelvis, and whether it relates to side effects like radiation enteritis (inflammation of the gut). The goal is to better understand and possibly predict these side effects to improve care.
