  • The interpretation of 2019 ASGE guideline on the role of endoscopy for bleeding from chronic radiation proctopathy

    Radiation proctopathy, which can be categorized as acute and chronic, is defined as the radiation damage to the rectum caused by radiation therapy in patients with pelvic malignancies. Chronic radiation proctopathy can cause complications such as rectal bleeding, which severely affects patients’ quality of life. At present, endoscopic therapy has become the primary method for diagnosis and treatment of bleeding from chronic radiation proctopathy. In October 2019, the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE) published "ASGE guideline on the role of endoscopy for bleeding from chronic radiation". The guideline described the effectiveness and safety of different endoscopic therapies such as argon plasma coagulation, bipolar electrocoagulation, heater probe, radiofrequency ablation, cryoablation, etc. in the treatment of bleeding from chronic radiation. This paper interprets it to provide references for clinicians in the treatment of bleeding from chronic radiation.
