Brief Title: Effectiveness of Vitamin E and Hydrogen-Rich Water on Radiation Therapy-Induced Adverse In Patients With Rectal Cancer
Official Title: Effectiveness of Vitamin E and Molecular Hydrogen-Rich Water on Radiation Therapy-Induced Adverse In Adult Patients With Rectal Carcinoma in Al-Quds, Palestine
Study ID: NCT04713332
Brief Summary: Controlled studies investigating the effects of vitamin E or H2 water or comparing their effectiveness on radiation therapy-induced injuries in RC patients are generally lacking. The present study hypothesis the following: (1) Pre - radiation therapy administration of vitamin E to patients with rectal carcinoma will provide radioprotection for exposed healthy tissues. (2) Consumption of H2 water by patients with rectal carcinoma undergoing RT will reduce the side effects of this modality. (3) Rectal cancer patients receiving H2 water will show better biological improvement than those receiving only vitamin E, i.e., H2 water is more effective antioxidant than vitamin E. (4) The proposed radiation countermeasures will not compromise the anti-tumor effects.
