Abstract
Oncology wounds and wounds of other etiology are rare but serious complications, which significantly impair patients' quality of life. Preventive and curative interventions and education of healthcare personnel and patients reduce the risk of either their occurrence or their impact and consequences.
A working group of authors from professional groups (the Supportive Care Group of the Czech Society for Oncology, the Czech Society for Wound Healing, the Society for Radiation Oncology, Biology and Physics, and the Czech Nurses Association) prepared recommendations for care - a basic summary of recommended interventions to prevent and treat oncology wounds in daily practice, defined based on expert societies guidelines, trials and literature data, proven practice and on the consensus opinions of the author's group members. The recommended procedures contribute to the reduction of the development, severity and consequences of oncological wounds and wounds of other etiology in oncological patients.
