Abstract
Background: Radiation-induced diarrhea (RID) is a distressing side effect of radiation to the abdominal and pelvic areas and warrants evidence-based interventions.
Objectives: This article reviews evidence for updates to the Oncology Nursing Society (ONS) symptom intervention recommendations for treating and preventing RID.
Methods: The ONS RID project team reviewed primary interventional studies, systematic reviews, and clinical practice guidelines. Results were categorized based on quality and level of evidence, outcome magnitude, and agreement between studies.
Findings: The team categorized the effectiveness of nutritional supplementation as not established, sulfasalazine as unlikely to be effective, SpaceOAR™ as effective with caution for patients with prostate cancer, and probiotics as recommended for practice. The studies reviewed consistently reported favorable effects of probiotics use during and after radiation with minimal to no adverse events.
期刊介绍:
The Clinical Journal of Oncology Nursing (CJON) is an official publication of the Oncology Nursing Society (ONS) and is directed to the practicing nurse specializing in the care of patients with an actual or potential diagnosis of cancer. CJON is a vehicle to promote the mission of ONS, which is to advance excellence in oncology nursing and quality cancer care. The CJON mission is twofold: to provide practical information necessary to care for patients and their families across the cancer continuum and to develop publication skills in oncology nurses.
