Description

The authors report a study which aimed at assessing the late tolerance of a prostatic irradiation at the rectum and anal canal level. They assessed the length of the rectum and of the anal canal after prostate irradiation or surgery in patients who suffered from a prostate adenocarcinoma. Data of 154 patients have been analyzed regarding the number of cases of stenosis of rectum or anal canal. They highlight the importance of the irradiated length and dose level. Short communication
