Współczesne leczenie chirurgiczne ran przewlekłych u pacjentów leczonych onkologicznie

In classical surgical terms, there are acute wounds, most of which can be healed by primary intention and chronic wounds, which require a differentiated therapeutic approach that should take into account both the primary factor responsible for the wound healing and secondary factors that interfere with the healing process. Chronic wounds in oncology patients constitute a special clinical group that requires separate discussion, because in addition to the classic factors affecting healing, the therapeutic team must take into account both the history of oncological treatment and the planned further therapeutic management. The long-term consequences of oncological therapies are also of significant importance. In many cases, malnutrition or cancer cachexia coexists, which can significantly hinder the achievement of the intended therapeutic effect.
