As a pre- or postoperative measure, radiotherapy can contribute to the treatment of many gastrointestinal malignancies. Postoperative radiotherapy is recommended in malignant lymphoma of the stomach and the intestine, as well as for invasive and totally resected carcinoma of the recto-sigmoid in order to prevent local recurrences. Preoperative radiotherapy can be attempted for carcinoma of the lower third of the esophagus and extended carcinoma of the stomach and the rectum, as long as no better therapeutic association is available. Finally, curative radiotherapy can be administered for squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus and the anus, with a reasonable chance of success, to avoid subjecting the patient to major surgery.
作为术前或术后的一项措施，放射治疗有助于多种胃肠道恶性肿瘤的治疗。对于胃和肠道的恶性淋巴瘤以及直肠乙状结肠的浸润性和完全切除的癌，建议进行术后放疗，以预防局部复发。对于食管下三分之一癌以及胃和直肠的进展期癌，只要没有更好的治疗组合，就可以尝试术前放疗。最后，对于食管癌和肛门鳞状细胞癌，可以进行根治性放疗，且有合理的成功机会，从而避免让患者接受大型手术。
