Conditions

Radiation Enteritis

Interventions

Auto-FMT group:Fecal samples of subjects will be collected by the research team one week before radiotherapy. After passing the 16S rRNA detection, the bacterial solution will be collected and prepare
Control group:Auto-FMT will not be performed, and conventional symptomatic treatment will be given. In case of diarrhea, commercial Clostridium butyricum dual viable bacteria capsules will be administ
