Ionizing radiation has cytotoxic effects, and is commonly used as treatment for neoplasm. A common adverse effect of radiation is acute diarrhoea. Glutamine is an aminoacid with antioxidant effects that can protect tissues of damage dued to radiation. The investigators designed a randomized, double-blind trial phase III to study if glutamine prevents acute radiation enteritis.
