A Comprehensive Analysis of Treatment Approaches for Cancerous Lesions or Wounds

Crank Denis

Background: The occurrence of malignant wounds is around 5% in late cancer stages, and the predicted life expectancy is no more than 6 to 12 months. Without an interdisciplinary and personalised treatment plan, symptoms worsen and have a negative impact on quality of life.

Methods: Based on radiological data, the authors summarised surgical, oncological, radiation oncological, nursing, and palliative care components of various treatment algorithms for malignant wounds published by a wide range of medical experts.

Results: An interdisciplinary strategy combined with ongoing consultation amongst different professionals can resolve or ameliorate conditions that appear hopeless.

Conclusion: To reduce the severe symptoms of this agonising illness, a complete treatment plan is required. Without appropriate treatment, non-healing fungal wounds place a heavy socioeconomic burden on all parties involved, including patients, carers, and healthcare providers. The authors of this research gathered suggestions for further guidelines that will be crucial in the near future.
