    Postoperative radiation for radiosensitive tumors can lead to severe intestinal lesions, causing complications years later. This review discusses clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of these radiation-induced injuries.

    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Radiation Oncology
    • Gastroenterology

    Context:

    • Postoperative radiation therapy is a common treatment for radiosensitive tumors.
    • Intestinal complications can arise following radiation, impacting patient outcomes.
    • Long-term effects of radiation on the gastrointestinal tract require careful management.

    Purpose:

    • To discuss the clinical presentation of acute and chronic intestinal lesions after postoperative radiation.
    • To explore diagnostic strategies for identifying radiation-induced gastrointestinal complications.
    • To review therapeutic options for managing severe intestinal damage and complications.

    Summary:

    • Postoperative radiation for radiosensitive tumors can cause acute or chronic intestinal lesions.
