New paper shows the impact of diabetes on radiation-induced proctitis
Dr. Abduelmenem Alashkham and his colleagues have recently published an article about the impact of diabetes mellitus on radiation-induced acute proctitis after radical radiotherapy for adenocarcinoma prostate.
They have found that diabetic patients were significantly more likely to have proctitis after radical radiation therapy for prostate cancer.
Diabetes was significantly associated with an induced risk of radiation-induced proctitis and also with deceleration of its resolution.
