Along with the malignant tissue, which is the target\u00a0of the radiation beam, adjacent organs are commonly included in the radiation field. This results in immediate and late\u00a0complications. More specifically, the urinary bladder and the gastrointestinal tract are radiation sensitive and commonly\u00a0symptoms arise from inflammation in these organs. More than 70% of patients who receive pelvic irradiation develop\u00a0inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract and manifest symptoms of varying severity. More than half of these patients\u00a0will develop chronic enteritis which will affect their quality of life. The role of the dietitian can be particularly important in\u00a0the management of the acute and chronic problems of these patients. In the present review, we will attempt to describe\u00a0the dietitian\u2019s role and critically evaluate the dietary changes needed to improve enteritis in patients who have received\u00a0therapeutic pelvis irradiation.<\/p>\n [\/summary]<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Therapeutic pelvic radiation is used with or without chemotherapy to treat malignancies of the pelvis that arise from gynecologic, genitourinary, and gastrointestinal organs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":402,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[10],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hjnutrdiet.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/262"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hjnutrdiet.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hjnutrdiet.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hjnutrdiet.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/402"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hjnutrdiet.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=262"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.hjnutrdiet.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/262\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hjnutrdiet.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=262"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hjnutrdiet.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=262"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hjnutrdiet.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=262"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
