Abstract

In the study, results of treatment of 76 patients with late skin ulcers developed after radiation therapy for malignant neoplasms of various sites are presented. The effectiveness of the local immunomodulator HEPON used in combination with the human epidermal growth factor HEBERMIN and conventional treatment is compared.
