How soon after pelvic RT can a routine colonoscopy be completed?

Topics: Radiation Oncology • Gynecologic Cancers

If a patient has a gynecological cancer, how long should one wait after RT before a screening colonoscopy can be completed?

Answer from: Radiation Oncologist at Community Practice

I have had them get it done once acute side effects subside in 8 -12 weeks. I do inform them about avoiding rectal biopsy and informing endoscopist about it.
