Late radiation proctitis : the incidence and contributing factors in patients with locally advanced cervical carcinoma treated at Pretoria Academic Hospital

The purpose of the thesis is to determine the incidence of late radiation proctitis in patients treated with radical radiotherapy in Pretoria Academic Hospital during a peroid when hypofractionated radiotherapy and external boosts were being utilised for the treatment of advances carcinoma of the cervix. Possible contributing factors were also examined in an attempt to identify areas where possible changes to our treatment policies would ensure effective palliation without severe late radiation proctitis.
