It is known that the radiation has been associated with decreased wound healing, fat necrosis and bleaching. Chemotherapy, on the other hand, has been described with side effects as infection, necrosis, contraction or deformation of the flaps. The previous history are causing some confusion that may arise when facing cancer patients that during their evolution require fix skin and soft tissue defects: is it safe do grafts or flaps in a patient being treated with chemotherapy or radiation therapy? Through the review of the published literature we seek to answer this question. |
