First seen May 03, 2026 · Last updated May 20, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study tests whether a daily enema with dexamethasone can reduce rectal injury caused by pelvic radiation in rectal cancer patients. About 40 adults aged 18-75 will be split into two groups: one starts the enema early (day 10 of radiation), the other starts only after injury appears. The goal is to see if early use lowers injury rates and improves quality of life.
