Résumé

Small and large bowels are dose-limiting structures for acute and late toxicity of abdominopelvic radiotherapy. Minor or moderate toxicities are underestimated. Major toxicities may occur years from treatment. Current optimal radiotherapy planning may predict precisely toxicities and new technologies for treatment delivery may prevent and/or reduce the frequency and severity of radiation enteropathy.
