Phases of Wound Repair01:28

Phases of Wound Repair

6.6K
Following injury, the integrity of the injured tissues must be reestablished. For example, in skin tissue, wound repair involves coordination among resident skin cells, blood mononuclear cells, extracellular matrix, growth factors, and cytokines to complete the healing cascade.
Formation of Blood Clot
In case of deep injuries, trauma to blood vessels results in blood loss. In the meantime, phospholipids released from the ruptured endothelial cellular membrane are converted into arachidonic...

Burn Injuries01:22

Burn Injuries

3.0K
Burn injuries occur when the skin and underlying tissues are damaged due to exposure to heat, electricity, chemicals, radiation, or friction. They can vary in severity, from minor superficial burns to severe deep burns that can be life-threatening.
The damage results in the death of skin cells, which can lead to a massive loss of fluid. Dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, and renal and circulatory failure follow, which can be fatal. Burn patients are treated with intravenous fluids to offset...

Cancer Therapies02:49

Cancer Therapies

8.0K
Cancer therapies are various modes of treatment, such as surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy that are administered to cancer patients.
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...

Skin Cancer01:30

Skin Cancer

4.8K
Skin cancer is a type of cancer that occurs when there is an abnormal growth of skin cells, usually triggered by damage to the DNA within the skin cells. It is primarily caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or artificial sources like tanning beds. Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer worldwide, and its incidence continues to rise.
Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC): BCC is the most common type of skin cancer, accounting for about 80% of cases. It typically develops in...

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Palliative Care
  • Wound Management

Background:

  • Cancerous wounds affect approximately 5% of patients with advanced-stage cancer.
  • Life expectancy for these patients is often limited to 6-12 months.
  • Lack of individualized treatment strategies exacerbates symptoms and reduces quality of life.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review and synthesize existing treatment algorithms for cancerous wounds.
  • To provide recommendations for developing future clinical guidelines.

Main Methods:

  • Comprehensive literature review of treatment strategies for cancerous wounds.
  • Summarization of surgical, oncological, radiation oncological, nursing, and palliative care aspects.
  • Integration of radiological information into treatment considerations.

Main Results:

  • An interdisciplinary approach involving continuous specialist consultation can effectively manage challenging cases.
  • Addressing cancerous wounds requires a holistic strategy encompassing multiple medical disciplines.

Conclusions:

  • Comprehensive treatment is essential to alleviate severe symptoms associated with cancerous wounds.
  • Non-healing fungating wounds impose a significant socio-economic burden.
  • Development of evidence-based guidelines is urgently needed for improved patient care.
