Abstract
Despite recent advances in irradiation techniques, late radiation proctitis is still a common complication of radiotherapy and is frequently challenging to treat. Patients with a few symptoms and normal haemoglobin do not require any treatment but if anaemia occurs, bleeding must be stopped. Formalin application is therefore useful, particularly after the failure of Argon plasma coagulation, or when radiation injury is located very close to or on the entire rectum. Practitioners must be aware of complications, so as to deliver clear information to patients and to appropriately screen adverse events during follow-up.
