Overview
Common risk factors in the development of Radiation proctitis include include dose of radiation, area of the radiation and mode of delivery of the radiation.
Risk Factors
Common Risk Factors
- Common risk factors in the development of radiation proctitis include:[1]
- Dose of the radiation: <45 Gy are associated with few long-term radiation side effects. In contrast, doses between 45 and 70 Gy cause more complications, and doses above 70 Gy cause significant and longstanding injury to the surrounding area
- Area of the radiation
- Mode of the delivery of the radiation
Less Common Risk Factors
- Less common risk factors in the development of Radiation proctitis are the diseases that may increases the susceptibility of mucosal injury by radiation are:
- HIV
- Inflammatory bowel disease
- Hx of smoking
- Diabetes Mellitus
- Hypertension
- Hx of atherosclerosis
- Younger age
