Core Tip	Radiotherapy is a treatment of choice in the management of several pelvic cancers. Acute and late-onset radiation-induced gastrointestinal toxicity, also known as pelvic radiation disease, is still frequently observed, despite recent improvements in radiation techniques. In the current review we provide an updated overview on the medical therapies that have been investigated with preventive intents, focusing our attention on the best available evidences, primarily randomized controlled studies.
