Diagnosing Active Bleeding from Radiation Proctopathy

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video sponsored by Braintree, Cibela Pharmaceuticals and their product SUTAB, an ASG expert discusses a case of a 76-year-old man with rectal bleeding and iron deficiency type anemia. The diagnosis is radiation proctopathy, which occurs after radiation therapy for prostate or cervical cancer. While it is often asymptomatic and doesn't require treatment, if there is anemia or significant rectal bleeding affecting the patient's quality of life, endoscopic therapy can be effective in controlling bleeding. Various treatments are available for radiation proctopathy. The video also features background music.
