A Novel Approach to Creating a Chronic Wound by Sandra Wainwright, MD
As our patient population ages, the effects of sun exposure and added comorbidities make LE skin cancer treatment a challenging process. Local radiation is a minimally invasive modality to manage some of these lesions, however, wound centers are seeing more cases of chronic non healing wounds because of radiation to the distal 1/3 of the leg. This talk discusses the diagnosis, pathophysiology, treatment and outcomes of this new modality.
