Radiation therapy is a powerful method for the control of cancer. The utilization of abdominal or pelvic radiation has been extended, and the incidence of radiation enteritis appears to be increasing. The majority of the induced lesions is in the distal ileum, sigmoid colon, or rectum. Reported here is an unusual case of radiation enteritis which caused a severe sequelae of stricture in the transverse colon as a long-term effect of therapeutic irradiation for uterine cancer, and required a surgical resection.

Nutrient availability strongly affects intestinal homeostasis. Here, we report that low-protein (LP) diets decrease amino acids levels, impair the DNA damage response (DDR), cause DNA damage and exacerbate inflammation in intestinal tissues of male mice with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Intriguingly, loss of nuclear fragile X mental retardation-interacting protein 1 (NUFIP1) contributes to the amino acid deficiency-induced impairment of the DDR in vivo and in vitro and induces necroptosis-related spontaneous enteritis.

Background: Radiotherapy for pelvic malignant tumors inevitably causes intestinal tissue damage. The regeneration of intestinal epithelium after radiation injury relies mainly on crypt fission. However, little is known about the regulatory mechanisms of crypt fission events.

To explore the efficacy and safety of toripalimab combined with platinum-based chemoradiotherapy in the treatment of locally advanced cervical cancer. A total of 82 patients diagnosed as locally advanced cervical cancer who received toripalimab combined with platinum-based concurrent chemoradiotherapy at Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute and Hospital from May 24 2019 to August 31 2022 were enrolled prospectively. After undergoing concurrent chemoradiotherapy, the patient received six cycles of treatment with toripalimab in combination with paclitaxel and platinum-based agents.

Purpose: To establish a pragmatic and effective predictive model for monitoring the recovery of radiation enteritis (RE) in cervical cancer patients undergoing concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT).
Methods: This study included 105 cervical cancer patients undergoing CCRT. We assessed baseline clinicopathologic characteristics, evaluated the effects of CCRT on circulating immune cells, tumor biomarkers, and inflammatory cytokines, and developed a predictive scoring system, the Immune-Tumor-Score (ITS), using the LASSO-Cox regression model.
