Summary
In recent studies, a radiation-induced enteropathy is being reported over 50%. In clinics,
probiotics are actively prescribed as a treatment for radiation-induced enteropathy. If
probiotics can be used during radiation therapy to prevent or reduce radiation-induced
enteropathy, the investigators can 1) reduce the inconvenience which is caused from
intestinal toxicity, 2) reduce the unnecessary interruption of radiation therapy, and 3)
expect to improve the quality of life.
