- W2315821613 abstract "<b>Background and study aims: </b>The main endoscopic therapy for radiation proctitis is argon plasma coagulation (APC); however treatment is not always successful. Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a possible treatment for radiation proctitis but data are scarce. The aim of this study was to report on the safety and efficacy of RFA in the treatment of radiation proctitis. <b>Patients and methods:</b> This study was an open-label, retrospective, multicenter study of patients with chronic hemorrhagic radiation proctitis who were treated with RFA. Data included a three-item symptom score, the number of packed red blood cell transfusions, the lowest hemoglobin concentration, and complications, during the 6 months prior to and after RFA. Clinical success was defined as a decrease in the symptom score. Biological success was defined as an increase in the hemoglobin rate with equal or decreased number of transfusions required. <b>Results:</b> A total of 17 patients underwent a median of 2 RFA sessions (range 1 – 4), without perioperative complications. Symptom scores decreased in 16 patients (clinical success 94 %), from a mean score of 3.6 (median 4) to 1.4 (median 1) (<i>P</i> < 0.01). Two patients developed rectal ulceration, with no local symptoms. During the 6 months after RFA, hemoglobin concentration increased in all 17 patients (from mean 8.3 ± 2.8 g/dL [median 7.5] to 11.3 ± 2.2 g/dL [median 11.0]; <i>P</i> < 0.01). Among 13 patients who were transfusion dependent prior to RFA (mean 7.2 ± 7.7 transfusions [median 4]), 9 patients (69 %) were weaned off transfusions after RFA. A significant increase in the hemoglobin level was observed in this subgroup of patients (from mean 7.2 ± 1.4 g/dL [median 7.3] to 10.7 ± 1.5 g/dL [median 10.5]; <i>P</i> < 0.001). Biological success was 100 %. <b>Conclusions:</b> RFA seems to significantly decrease clinical symptoms and increase the hemoglobin concentration, thus reducing the need for transfusions." @default.
