Abstract:
Radiation wounds represent some of the most difficult wounds to treat. Historically, there have been few nonsurgical options. Recent research suggests future potential of a therapeutic role for growth factors. Hyperbaric oxygen is currently widely used, but its addition to growth factors may give much greater benefits in the future.
