Radiation-Related Wounds
Radiation-related wounds occur when cancer treatments unintentionally damage healthy tissue, leading to painful, slow-healing wounds. These wounds can occur years after the radiation treatments and can get worse over time. These injuries may result in tissue necrosis, chronic inflammation, and an increased risk of infection. Radiation can injure internal organs as well, and may present with bloody urine or rectal bleeding. At MDConsult Wound Care, we provide expert care for radiation-induced wounds using advanced interventions like hyperbaric oxygen therapy and biologic wound dressings to accelerate healing and reduce complications.
Our approach to radiation wound care focuses on reversing oxygen deprivation and minimizing inflammation in fragile tissues. We use customized healing protocols that may include topical anti-inflammatory agents, protective dressings, and therapies designed to promote cellular repair and angiogenesis. These methods are tailored to the patient’s unique oncologic history and skin condition.
What We Do:
Hyperbaric oxygen to support cell repair
Topical therapies to reduce inflammation
Wound protection and monitoring
Because these wounds often stem from prior radiation exposure, they require specialized oversight and long-term management. With more than 25 years of experience, our physician-led team monitors each wound closely, adjusting treatments as needed to ensure sustained recovery. We also coordinate with your oncology team when necessary to deliver comprehensive, integrated care.
If you're struggling with wounds that developed after cancer treatment, don’t wait for symptoms to worsen. At MDConsult Wound Care, we combine compassion with innovation to help restore skin health and function.
