ABSTRACT

We performed a prospective research applying therapeutic endoscopy in patients suffering of Actinic Proctitis, after radiation for pelvic cancer. We used Argon Plasma Coagulation to remove vascular lesions in these patients. We described the application of this therapeutic in 29 patients, all of them female, with rectal bleeding. Patients received as average, 3 sessions of treatment, and all of the them get better since the first session, with important reduction of the bleeding and the number of telangiectasias. There were no complications with this technique. We consider that therapeutic endoscopic treatment with APC is a valuable and safe treatment for patients, suffering with Actinic Proctitis.
