Summary
This study tests whether a special dressing (Mepilex Lite) placed inside the anal canal, combined with a pain-relief suppository (indomethacin), can better treat painful skin damage caused by radiation therapy for rectal cancer. About 274 adults who develop moderate to severe anal skin irritation during their first round of radiation will be randomly assigned to get either standard care plus the suppository, or the same plus the dressing. The main goal is to see if the dressing improves skin healing and reduces pain after two weeks of treatment.
