A randomized double-blind controlled trial: Impact of probiotics on diarrhea in patients treated with pelvic radiation

Standard dose of Bifilact® may reduce radiation induced grade 2-3-4 diarrhea at the end of the treatment of patients with pelvic cancer. In patients operated on before RT, a standard dose of probiotics may reduce radiation induced grade 4 diarrhea. Nutritional interventions by a registered dietician seemed to reduce global digestive symptoms. Trial Registration: clinicaltrials.gov. Identifier NCT01839721.
