Ulcerative colitis seldom associated with nutritive and/or salicylate allergy. Authors present a case of both allergic events at the course of the disease. In 1996 a 19-year-old girl was referred with a history of blood in stool as well as diarrhoea, suggesting ulcerative proctitis. Biopsy revealed
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate retrospectively treatment-related morbidity of concurrent radiotherapy and chemotherapy for rectal cancer.
METHODS
Between 1992 and 1995, 38 patients (median age: 60) were treated for locally advanced resectable rectal cancer. Median dose of radiotherapy was 45 Gy/25
OBJECTIVE
The aims of this phase II study were to investigate the feasibility, efficacy, and safety of gemcitabine in combination with radiation in chemonaive patients with advanced cervical cancer.

We present three cases of late radiation enteritis, all admitted through the accident and emergency unit and managed in the surgical department. All presented with acute symptoms. Two had abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting and in these two cases, plain radiology and computed tomography scans
OBJECTIVE
The aim of the current study is to assess the response rate and toxicity profile in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer using brachytherapy (BT) boost following external beam radiotherapy (EBRT), concomitant with chemotherapy as a component of the neoadjuvant
A total of 285 patients with stage Ib2 and IIa2 cervical cancer were categorized into three groups, and received preoperative neoadjuvant chemotherapy combined with vaginal intracavitary irradiation, neoadjuvant chemotherapy alone or radiotherapy, respectively. The effective rate of 70.6 % in group

The gastrointestinal form of food allergy is very common in children. The most frequently observed types are allergic proctitis and proctocolitis. In most cases the symptoms subside within the first 2 months of life. The babies seem healthy, and the only abnormality is a small amount of blood in
Between August 1990 and January 1992, 184 patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix, FIGO stage IIB-IVA, were randomized to receive either two cycles of bleomycin, ifosfamide-mesna, and cis-platinum (BIP) chemotherapy (CT) followed by radiotherapy (RT) ("CT-RT group," n = 94) or RT alone
OBJECTIVE
Oxaliplatin could increase the efficacy of fluorouracil (5-FU)/folinic acid chemoradiotherapy in rectal cancer. We tested three dose levels to identify a feasible oxaliplatin dose for combination therapy.
METHODS
Between February 1998 and April 2000, we included 17 rectal adenocarcinoma
OBJECTIVE
A common complication of pelvic radiotherapy (RT) is acute radiation-induced proctosigmoiditis (RIPS), for which a multitude of therapies have been tried. The 5-aminosalicylates (5-ASA), which are traditionally used to treat inflammatory bowel disease, have been tested; however, all but
