Summary

This study tests whether a daily Bergmann enema can prevent severe rectal injury caused by radiation therapy in 40 rectal cancer patients. Participants will receive the enema from the start of radiotherapy until 10 days after. The goal is to reduce the rate of moderate-to-severe rectal injury from 80% to 50%.
