Some of these individuals may experience acute radiation proctitis, a condition involving inflammation of the rectum caused by radiation therapy. This inflammation can lead to symptoms such as rectal pain, diarrhea, and bleeding.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate how well a rectal treatment works for these symptoms. Participants will be assigned to receive either budesonide, which is a type of steroid medication, or a placebo. Both medications will be administered as a suppository, which is a small, solid medicated piece inserted into the rectum for absorption. The study will take place over eight weeks, with the medication used once every day.
