Management of bleeding in a patient with colorectal cancer: a case study

M Farncombe. Support Care Cancer. 1993 May.

Abstract

Superficial bleeding in patients with malignant disease is a distressing symptom, which is often difficult to control. The following is a case study outlining the use of Sucralfate, an oral cytoprotective agent, used topically in a patient with colo-rectal cancer. The treatment resulted in control of bleeding, less localized pain and more freedom and independence for the patient.
