摘要

Disclosed herein are compositions and methods for preventing or treating acute or chronic oral mucositis, esophagitis, enteritis, colitis, or gastrointestinal acute radiation syndrome (GI-ARS) caused by radiation exposure, using one or more enteron sorbent polymers administered gastrointestinally (e.g. orally, via feeding or gastric tube, via ostomy, or rectally).
