title: [Experience with tantum rosa treatment for the prevention and management of radiation-induced proctitis and vaginitis in uterine and vaginal cancer].
abstract: The investigation has been concerned with the efficacy of Tantum Rosa (Angelini Francesco, Italy) in the prevention (21) and therapy (87) of early- and late-onset radiation injuries of the rectum and vagina in patients exposed to radiation for cervical, uterine or vaginal carcinoma. Rectal tenesmus and pain subsided following 3-4 administrations at early stages of radiation rectitis. Intestinal discomfort was avoided when Tantum Rosa was used for prophylaxis. Therapeutic effect was reported after 7-10 administrations for moderate radiation vaginitis. Therapy for pannicular epithelite lasted less than two weeks.
