The experiment group was given compress Tianshu acupoint with warm moxibustion bag every day, along with drug and retention enema, while the control group was treated with drug and retention enema only. Then observe and evaluate the effect of different treatment on each group. Results The total effective rate of treating radiation proctitis in experimental group was 94.44%(34/36) which was superior to 76.19% (32/42) of the control group (χ2=4.962, P<0.05). The influence of tumor radiotherapy in experimental group was also superior to the control group, nine patients were forced to suspend to radiotherapy by (6.11 ± 1.96) days in the control group, while five cases were suspended to radiotherapy by (2.20±1.09) days in the experiment group (t=4.066,P<0.05).
