Summary

Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) management is challenging, especially after breast cancer surgery. This case study shows radiation therapy is safe and effective for breast cancer patients with PG, improving both conditions without adverse skin effects.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Oncology
  • Radiation Oncology

Background:

  • Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is a rare, painful ulcerative skin condition.
  • PG can be triggered by minor skin trauma and complicates cancer treatment.
