ABSTRACT

Radiation enteritis (RE) is an intestinal complication caused by radiotherapy for abdominal and pelvic or retroperitoneal malignant tumors. At present, Western medicine believes that RE is caused by radiation damage to the gastrointestinal mucosa and the imbalance of intestinal flora. Treatment includes nutritional support, drug therapy, endoscopic therapy, surgery, and stem cell transplantation, but the efficacy is not good, and the side effects are large, the safety is low; while traditional Chinese medicine has a significant effect on the treatment of this disease. The study found that damage to the spleen and stomach and accumulation of heat toxin are the fundamental pathogenesis of RE. In this paper, the treatment of RE with traditional Chinese medicine is reviewed from the aspects of traditional Chinese medicine internal treatment (single herbs, classical prescriptions, and experimental prescriptions), traditional Chinese medicine, external treatment (traditional Chinese medicine retention enema, cupping, acupuncture), etc. to provide a reference for follow-up clinical and scientific research work.
