Symposium ASSESSMENT ANDMANAGEMENT OF RECTAL MORBIDITY 08:45 - 10:00 | GIALLA

This symposium is dedicated to clarifying the rectal symptoms after radiotherapy to the small pel- vis. Only a few are directly linked to ionizing radiation to the bowel or anal sphincter region. It will be discussed the definition of unique set of pathophysiology to be introduced in the planning of ra- diotherapy. The second topic will aim to distinguish between objective toxicity scoring and subjec- tive patient reported outcomes. Rectal and anal toxicity dose volume histogram and changes will be discriminated. Lastly, the impact and the interest of using rectal spacer to minimized morbidity during irradiation of prostate cancer will be commented.

Chair: P. Maingon (France) Co-Chair: D. Genovesi (Italy)
