| Core Tip |
Argon plasma coagulation (APC) is currently recommended as the first-choice treatment for hemorrhagic chronic radiation proctitis, however, its indication based on long-term follow-up is still unclear. The purpose of this study was to review APC’s long-term efficacy and safety. Forty-five patients with a median follow-up of 24 mo were enrolled. Successful treatment was achieved in 31 patients (68.9%). APC failure was independently associated with telangiectasias present on > 50% of the surface area and ulceration > 1 cm2. Six patients (13.3%) experienced severe complications involving rectal fistulation. The only factor significantly associated with severe complications was ulceration > 1 cm2. |
