There is insufficient evidence to recommend routine screening for radiation proctitis. However recent studies shows that the impairment of the rectum's ability to heal may predispose other organs, exposed to the radiation, at high risk of malignant transformation so it has been suggested that patients exposed to higher doses of radiation may need to be more closely screened for other malignancies but further studies need to be conducted before definitive recommendations can be made. The risk of second cancer after irradiation, although probably small, needs nevertheless to be carefully monitored.
